"Mechanism : The basic defect in LQT3 or LQTS-type-3 - which is the third most common LQTS - is caused by an excessive inflow of late Na + current during the plateau, dome or phase 2 of the AP caused by gain-of-function mutations in the SCN5A cardiac Na + channel gene which mediates the fast Nav1.5 current during AP initiation and also late in phase 2 of AP causing an accelerated recovery from inactivation of Na + current as well as AP prolongation, especially at low stimulation rates."
