Hi @janet26,

You might wish to view this post, "Mayo Clinic Q and A: Understanding and treating long QT syndrome” on Connect’s Genetic Heart Rhythm Diseases Page. I’m tagging @rkincaid who’s written about Long QT syndrome in the past, and might be able to share some insights.

@janet26,aAlthough it’s loaded with information, I always feel that trusting Google for your health Is a bad idea! May I ask what you are concerned about?

Thank you for response my fear is if this is life threatening. How do I know if it is caused by medications or if it is genetic. Can prolonged Qt be like a side effect to medications and if they are stopped ,will it go away? Or if you show that arrhythmia, are you automatically assumed to have the genetic predisposition. I will attempt to find your understanding and treating page. thx

A general thank you to everyone. I am sorry to hear so many difficult stories from so many people. I am really hoping a change of medications will change my ECG readings.
Time will tell thanks for support everyone
