Abstract This thesis addresses some of the most pressing issues and challenges in the management of congenital long QT syndrome and loss-of-function sodium channelopathies, with a special focus on the pediatric population. With inheritable arrhythmia syndromes emerging as an important piece in the puzzle of sudden unexplained death, the findings of the studies described here have relevant implications in different spheres of clinical practice, namely improved awareness, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
