In volume 9 of Cardiovascular Genomics Insights, we discuss the role of genetics in the management of long QT syndrome. This issue is enriched by the great contribution of Professor Lia Crotti and Professor Arthur Wilde.

Emphasis is also given to adequate measurement of QT interval, which could seem easy, but is not.
