Abstract

This year marks the 50th anniversary of publication in the then Journal of the Irish Medical Association of the seminal work by Irish paediatrician Professor Conor Ward entitled 'A new familial Cardiac Syndrome in Children'. The condition soon became known by the eponym Romano-Ward Syndrome and is now recognised as the congenital Long QT Syndrome. Here we review the major developments in the field over the past fifty years, with special mention of the important contributions made by Irish researches.
