Long story short.

The article presents the discussion on case study of 13-year-old patient with a history of cardiac arrest and a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), diagnosed with Short QT Syndrome due to an abnormally short QT interval on the ECG. Topics include the diagnosis criteria for Short QT Syndrome, the strong predictor of recurrent ventricular arrhythmias being a history of survived cardiac arrest; and the common complication of inappropriate ICD shocks in pediatric patients.
