A Rare Case of a Patient with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and Subsequent Congenital Long Qtc Syndrome

Abstract

Putschoegl A, Moran AM and Epstein M

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome continues to be one of the most complicated and devastating of all the congenital heart defects. Despite advances in surgical palliation, patients continue to face a high percentage of morbidity and mortality. This syndrome can be associated with multiple other genetic conditions although we believe we have found the first case that is associated with a congenitally prolonged QTc. We will discuss this presentation and the importance of considering multiple syndromes in those with congenital heart disease.
