Overview
Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either Strong family history of sudden cardiac death OR high-risk patients with Jervell and Lang-Nielsen syndrome.
Indications
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is not the first-line treatment option for patients with long QT syndrome. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:[1][2]
- Strong family history of sudden cardiac death
- High-risk patients with Jervell and Lang-Nielsen (JLN) syndrome
- Left cervicothoracic stellectomy is another antiadrenergic therapeutic measure used in high-risk patients with long QT syndrome (LQTS), especially in those with recurrent cardiac events despite beta-blocker therapy.
