Answer:

Romano-Ward syndrome (RWS) is a form of long QT syndrome, a heart condition that causes the heart muscle to take longer to recharge between beats than usual.

Explanation:

The heart muscle (myocardium) has the ability to contract and relax in a very precise rhythm so that each cavity, in order, is filled and then empties of the blood it contains. Romano-Ward syndrome is the most common form (autosomal dominant form) of long QT syndrome characterized by an abnormality of cardiac electrical activity that can be diagnosed by recording the electrical impulses of the heart. Despite having a normal anatomy, the heart has electrical dysfunction (abnormally long QT interval) .This syndrome is associated with an increased risk of syncope (fainting), loss of consciousness, heart rhythm disturbances, and even cardiac arrest, which can occur due to efforts or the administration of certain medications. The most frequent causes of the syndrome are mutations in the KCNQ1, KCNH2 and SCN5A genes (these encode proteins that form channels through the cell membrane), these channels transport ions such as potassium and sodium, inside and outside the cells. In heart muscle cells, these ion channels play critical roles in maintaining the heart's normal rhythm.

Compare and Contrast hidden and active viruses??
DIA [1.3K]
I think you are talking about the 2 types of virus cycles

the lytic cycle is where a virus invades a bacteria host and quickly inserts its own dna proteins into the bacteria's. the bacteria is then forced to copy the virus dna and reproduce the virus. once all the coppies are made the virus triggers the bacteria to self destruct from the inside, causing the bacteria toburst and releases hundreds of the tiny viruses into the host.
(think of when you get a cold)

the other cycle is the lysogenic cycle these are viruses that enter a host and lay quietly dormant while inserting their own proteins into the dna sequence of the bacteria host. the bacteria unknowingly copies the virus dna along with its own. the host doesn't know the virus has been in them until a stressor such as getting a high temperature of an infection causes the viruses to activate and stop being dormant (like with HIV)<span />
