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].
