Medications, Lifestyle, and Devices

Long QT Syndrome is a heart rhythm disorder where the heart’s electrical system takes longer than normal to reset between beats. This delay can trigger fainting, seizures, or, in severe cases, life-threatening arrhythmias. Early detection and ongoing care are critical for reducing risk and protecting heart health.

Treatment & Management:

• Medications such as beta-blockers to regulate the heartbeat
• Avoiding triggers (like certain medications or intense activity)
• ICD placement for patients at high risk of sudden events
