Overview

In contrast to Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), there is often no specific trigger (such as a loud noise or exercise) for an episode of arrhythmia. [Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

OR

[Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases

Short QT syndrome must be differentiated from normal variant, secondary causes of QT prolongation, and deceleration dependent shortening of QT interval.


Differentiating [disease name] from other diseases on the basis of [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]

On the basis [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3], [disease name] must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].
