Overview

Short QT syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, and having a family member with the disase places an individual at risk for the disease. Family members of affected individuals should therefore be screened. New onset lone atrial fibrillation may be a marker of the disease, and young patients with lone atrial fibrillation should be screened as well.
