Email this article LONG SURVIVAL OF PATIENT WITH ROMANO WARD SYNDROME ON BETA BLOCKERS
Abstract
Romano Ward syndrome is an inherited condition characterized by prolongation of QT interval, evident
on electrocardiogram, associated with syncope and life threatening arrhythmias and ultimately sudden cardiac
death. Cardiac events occur most commonly in the middle age. We present here a case of 58 years old female
who was diagnosed as a case of Romano Ward syndrome 30 years ago in 1985 and was on beta blockers since
then with no episodes of syncope or ventricular tachycardia during this period.
