Abstract

The understanding and prevalence of cardiac channelopathies has grown over time. Many patients are asymptomatic but are at risk for malignant arrhythmias during high-acuity medical admissions. Long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia are discussed with specific consideration given for the role these medical conditions play during an intensive care unit admission-for either cardiac or noncardiac reasons.
