Abstract
Le syndrome du QT long congénital (SQTL) est une maladie génétique caractérisée par l’allongement de l’intervalle QT qui peut se compliquer d’arythmies ventriculaires potentiellement mortelles. Les progrès de la génétique ont permis une bonne compréhension des mécanismes physiopathologiques et une prise en charge thérapeutique optimisée. La question de l’aptitude médicale des salariés atteints d’un SQTL est un sujet quasiment ignoré de la littérature médicale. Cet article propose une approche structurée afin d’aider le médecin du travail dans cette démarche, elle intègre l’évaluation du risque individuel essentiellement par l’anamnèse et l’utilisation d’un modèle quantitatif 1-2-3 LQTS en combinaison avec l’évaluation des facteurs déclenchants les arythmies ventriculaires malignes.
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic disease characterized by the prolongation of the QT interval, which can lead to potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias. Advances in genetics have allowed for a good understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms and optimized therapeutic management. The question of medical fitness for employment of workers with LQTS is a subject virtually ignored in the medical literature. This article proposes an approach to assist the occupational physician in this process, integrating the assessment of individual risk mainly through medical history and the use of a quantitative 1-2-3 LQTS model with the evaluation of triggering factors for malignant ventricular arrhythmias.
期刊介绍:
The Archives of Occupational and Environmental Diseases (Archives des maladies professionnelles et de l''environnement) publish scientific original articles in the form of memoirs, developments and general health reviews. The journal is a reliable source of information, which lets you gain additional knowledge or update your knowledge of basic or original issues.
The section Continuous professional development focuses on a major issue and gives you the tools to optimize your practice. The content is divided in 3 parts: Reading Test, Answer to the Reading Test and Scientific Press Review, which let you share the analysis, by the editorial board, of articles from major English-language journals.
The section Legal Environment discusses an environmental culture. The section Letter to the editor keeps you informed about the press review; the Legislation, with the latest regulations published in the Official Journal; and the agenda of the meetings and the Congress, the questions–answers, etc. The Archives of Occupational and Environmental Diseases include all the scientific communications of the French occupational health societies, of which they are the official journal.
