Zusammenfassung:Long QT syndrome is a disorder of ventricular myocardial repolarization associated with an increased risk of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. This report highlights a case of QT prolongation with torsades de pointes in a patient with baseline congenital long QT syndrome, believed to be precipitated by metabolic changes associated with the "ketogenic diet."
