The Uncommon Phenomenon of Short QT Syndrome: A Scoping Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT: Background: Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a rare inheritable channelopathy characterized by a shortened corrected QT interval on an electrocardiogram and a significant risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, potentially leading to sudden cardiac death. Despite advancements in our understanding of SQTS, knowledge gaps persist due to its extreme rarity. This scoping review aims to summarize the available knowledge on its clinical presentations, genetic mutations, and management strategies, while identifying areas for further investigation. Methods: This scoping review was conducted across the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases and identified relevant case reports, case series, and available studies on SQTS. We focused on articles that reported clinical outcomes, genetic m
