Malignant cardiac dysrhythmias are potentially treatable etiologies, and congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is the most common cardiac ionic channelopathy confronted. \u03b2-Blockers or class Ib agents are the drugs of choice for the control of arrhythmias, and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) should be considered for secondary prevention in survivors of lethal cardiac death. We report the case of a 4-day old neonate, later genetically confirmed as LQT type 3 (LQT3), who survived a pulseless torsades de pointes (TdP) attack and was successfully treated with propranolol, mexiletine, and ICD implantation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd9060184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,10]],"date-time":"2022-06-10T02:25:33Z","timestamp":1654827933000},"page":"184","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Resuscitated Sudden Cardiac Arrest of a Neonate with Congenital LQT Syndrome-Associated Torsades de Pointes: A Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Yen-Teng","family":"Hsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Mackay Children\u2019s Hospital, Taipei 104217, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pi-Chang","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Education, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40705, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Hsuan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Mackay Children\u2019s Hospital, Taipei 104217, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shu-Jen","family":"Yeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Mackay Children\u2019s Hospital, Taipei 104217, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0708-1002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ming-Ren","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Mackay Children\u2019s Hospital, Taipei 104217, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kung-Hong","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mackay Memorial Hospital, Taipei 104217, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chung-I","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mackay Memorial Hospital, Taipei 104217, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei-Ting","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Hung Chi Women and Children\u2019s Hospital, Taoyuan 320675, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1119-1968","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei-Li","family":"Hung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Mackay Children\u2019s Hospital, Taipei 104217, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"388","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cardiores.2005.02.013","article-title":"Sudden infant death syndrome: How significant are the cardiac channelopathies?","volume":"67","author":"Tester","year":"2005","journal-title":"Cardiovasc.
