Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Purpose of Review: This review article seeks to discuss the salient information about the known genetic variants associated with congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) and describe the current anesthetic considerations. Recent Findings: LQTS describes a heterogeneous group of patients with varying genetic mutations that cause an increased risk of torsade de pointe and sudden death. Research continues to identify more genetic mutations associated with LQTS subtypes. Publications of clinical experience with LQTS patients under general anesthesia provide new insights on the risk of medication inducing arrhythmias in these patients. Summary: Many medications used during general anesthesia are known to prolong the QTc interval. Patients with LQTS are at increased risk of arrhythmias under general anesthesia.
