Abstract

The 3 most common inherited arrhythmia syndromes-Brugada syndrome, congenital long QT syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia-were initially described in the previous century. Since then, research has evolved, which has enabled us to identify patients prior to the onset of potentially life-threatening symptoms. However, there are significant gaps in knowledge that complicate clinical management of these patients today. With this review paper, we aim to highlight the most important knowledge gaps in clinical research of these inherited arrhythmia syndromes.

Keywords: Brugada syndrome; Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia; Congenital long QT syndrome.
