Supportive therapy for [disease name] includes [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and [therapy 3].
 
OR


The majority of cases of [disease name] are self-limited and require only supportive care.
==== Serum potassium management ====


OR
*[[Serum]] [[potassium]] plays an important role in managing the [[symptoms]] of the patients with [[Andersen-Tawil syndrome|Andersen-Tawil Syndrome]].
*If [[serum]] [[potassium]] levels are '''<3.0''' mmol/L treat the patient with the following:
**Preferred regimen (1): Oral [[potassium]] 20-30 mEq/L with the intervals of every 15-30 minutes until the patient reaches the normal levels.
**'''Specific instructions:'''
***[[Physicians]] who are treating the patient have to keep in mind that anywhere not more than 200 mEq in a 12-hour period is considered to prevent the [[toxicity]].
**Preferred regimen (2): If [[intravenous]] [[potassium]] is considered then a 5% [[mannitol]] solution in the place of a [[saline]] or [[glucose]] solution is recommended
**'''Specific instructions:'''
***Giving [[Intravenous therapy|IV]] [[potassium]] with [[saline]] or [[glucose]] solution leads to worsen the [[Muscle weakness|weakness]].
*While giving the [[potassium]] to a patient it is very important to monitor very closely as to avoid secondary [[hyperkalemia]] which might leads to [[Diastolic|diastolic arrest]].
*If the patient's [[potassium]] levels are high and causes episodic [[paralysis]] it will resolve within an hour.
*High [[potassium]] levels can be managed by treating the patient with the following:
**Preferred regimen (3): [[Intravenous therapy|Intravenous]] [[calcium gluconate]]

==Medical Therapy==
Management of individuals with ATS requires the coordinated input of a neurologist familiar with the treatment of periodic paralysis and a cardiologist familiar with the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. To date, no randomized clinical therapeutic trials have been conducted on ATS.


Management of attacks of episodic weakness depends on the associated serum potassium concentration:
*Flecainide is very potent anti arrhythmic which helps with suppressing bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BVT)<ref name="pmid17655675">{{cite journal| author=Pellizzón OA, Kalaizich L, Ptácek LJ, Tristani-Firouzi M, Gonzalez MD| title=Flecainide suppresses bidirectional ventricular tachycardia and reverses tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy in Andersen-Tawil syndrome. | journal=J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol | year= 2008 | volume= 19 | issue= 1 | pages= 95-7 | pmid=17655675 | doi=10.1111/j.1540-8167.2007.00910.x | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17655675  }}</ref>
* If the serum potassium concentration is low (<3.0 mmol/L), administration of oral potassium (20-30 mEq/L) every 15-30 minutes until the serum concentration normalizes often shortens the attack. Monitoring of serum potassium concentrations and ECG may be useful during potassium replacement therapy in an emergency setting to avoid secondary hyperkalemia.
*Flecainide also helps in reversing tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy
* Attacks of weakness when serum potassium concentration is high usually resolve within 60 minutes. Episodes may be shortened by ingesting carbohydrates or continuing mild exercise. Intravenous calcium gluconate is rarely necessary for management in an individual seen in an emergency setting.
**Preferred regimen (1): Flecainide 50 mg PO BID, may increase by 50 mg but do not exceed 300 mg/day.


Vasovagal syncope in individuals with ATS mandates a careful cardiology assessment.

Overview

There is no treatment for Andersen-Tawil Syndrome; the mainstay of therapy is to treat the symptoms and manage the patient. Potassium levels play an important role in the management of the symptoms.

Medical Therapy

Serum potassium management

Cardiac manifestations

Flecainide

  • Flecainide should be considered especially in patients who are prone to more frequent ventricular arrhythmias with reduced left ventricular function
  • Flecainide is very potent anti arrhythmic which helps with suppressing bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BVT)[3]
  • Flecainide also helps in reversing tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy
    • Preferred regimen (1): Flecainide 50 mg PO BID, may increase by 50 mg but do not exceed 300 mg/day.
