Gollob score and modified Gollob score – Cardiology MCQ

Gollob score and modified Gollob score have been proposed for the risk stratification of: a) Long QT syndrome b) Short QT syndrome c) Brugada syndrome d) Early repolarization syndrome Correct answer: b) Short QT syndrome The Gollob scoring system [1] allots points for shortening of QT interval, shortening of J point to T peak interval, clinical history, familly history and genotype. A score of 4 or more is considered to confer high probability, 3 points an intermediate probability and 2 or less points a low probability. The scoring system has been modified by the same group in pediatric patients [2]. References Gollob MH, Redpath CJ, Roberts JD. The short QT syndrome: proposed diagnostic criteria.
