Overview
If left untreated, patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome may progress to develop periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias and can lead to the death of the patient. Common complications of Andersen-Tawil syndrome include neuromuscular symptoms and malignant hyperthermia. Prognosis is generally range from good to poor.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of Andersen-Tawil syndrome usually develop in the first decade of life, and start with symptoms such as episodic flaccid muscle weakness, ventricular arrhythmias and prolonged QT interval.[1]
- If left untreated, patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome may progress to develop cardiac arrhythmias and can lead to the death of the patient.
Complications
- Common complications of [disease name] include:
- [Complication 1]
- [Complication 2]
- [Complication 3]
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [--]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of the tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] has the most favorable prognosis.
