HEmiplegia Arrhythmia Retrospective Trial (HEART)

February 20, 2023 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Role of Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Genotype in Cardiac Repolarization. HEART: HEmiplegia Arrhythmia Retrospective Trial

Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is a rare and severe disease that is in need of effective, and hopefully even curative, therapies. Afflicted patients suffer from severe paralyzing crises, often excruciatingly painful muscle spasms, severe often life threatening epileptic seizures, frequently severe developmental and psychiatric/psychological disabilities and other comorbidities, such as cardiac disturbances. Recent data indicate that AHC genotype is in relation to cardiac repolarization troubles and to cardiac arrhythmias. The primary hypothesis to explore is that there is an association between genotype and cardiac phenotype in AHC.
