*

p-value compares LQT5 probands and family members. LQT5 = Type 5 Long QT syndrome, JLNS2 = Type 2 Jervell and Lange-Nielsen Syndrome, Genotype +ve FM = genotype positive family members, ms = milliseconds, LCSD = left cardiac sympathetic denervation, ICD = implantable cardioverter defibrillator, CAO = composite arrhythmic outcome
