Figure 1 Flowchart for study inclusion. Each box represents inclusion with a perpendicular arrow associated with excluded charts. LQTS subtype is documented for each individual at each step. LQTS = long QT syndrome. Heart Rhythm 2014 11, 53-57DOI: (10.1016/j.hrthm.2013.10.010) Copyright © 2014 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions
Figure 2 Genotype and prevalence of abnormal EEG studies in patients with LQTS. Number of patients for each genotypic classification having a seizure phenotype (gray bar) and EEG documented epilepsy (blue bar). Unknown category represents patients with phenotypic LQTS without positive genotyping. Other category includes all patients with genotype-positive LQTS not represented by the previous categories. *Significance value of patients with LQT2 and epilepsy compared to epilepsy among patients with LQT1. **Significance value of patients with LQT2 and seizure phenotype compared to seizure phenotype among all other LQT subtypes. EEG = electroencephalogram; LQT1 = type 1 long QT syndrome; LQT2 = type 2 long QT syndrome; LQTS = long QT syndrome.
