Sudden cardiac death.

Sir .—The otherwise excellent review of sudden cardiac death in young athletes by McCaffrey and colleagues 1 is marred by misstatement of the inheritance of the long QT syndromes. The Jervell and Lange-Nielson syndrome 2 is autosomal recessive and accompanied by congenital deafness. The Romano-Ward syndrome 3,4 has an autosomal dominant inheritance and is accompanied by normal hearing. Many family studies have confirmed these patterns of inheritance. 5
