We report the case of 16-year old girl who was admitted to our Department after the episode of ventricular fibrillation. We diagnosed the hereditary long QT syndrome. The patient's family was investigated and complex therapy was started in affected individuals including cardioselective beta-blocker (atenolol) and permanent cardiac pacing (VVIR and DDDR). This therapy is effective in prevention of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias in our patients.
