The heartbeat when recorded by a BLT or ECG displays a trace with waves. Named in 1890 -P.Q.R.S.T. (An Extended QTc interval can sometimes be drug induced) What is the "c" in QTc? The c denotes that a mathematical correction has been made to account for the heart rate BUT big problems with QTc. What is LQTS or LongQT SYNDROME? This is a genetic inherited condition that affects the heart. Commonly denoted by an extended QT/QTc interval. How common is inherited LongQT? The frequency of Long QT is unknown but it appears to be a common cause of sudden and What are the symptoms of LongQT? The usual symptoms are sudden loss of consciousness (syncope) or sudden death Many accidental drownings and unexplained car accidents have historically been LongQT How is Long QT diagnosed? Diagnosis is commonly only suspected first and confirmed by an ECG. The QT/QTc interval can be modestly prolonged and even normal in individuals but if LongQT LQTS is often misdiagnosed as epilepsy and costly unhelpful medications have been prescribed for years. What is a stress/exercise ECG test? Exercise on a treadmill for 10 or 15 minutes keeping heart rate less than 150 bpm, the presence of a cardiologist is mandatory. The QT/QTc interval that may be borderline or even normal at rest canbecome distinctly abnormal during exercise. How do you treat Long QT Syndrome? Beta-blocker medications are the mainstay of therapy. These medications are effective in about 90 per cent of affected people. Are there any screening programs for Long QT Syndrome? NO - No cost-effective method has been available. NOW there IS with BioLecTracer
Have you been diagnosed with? Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy and had your children taken away and know you did not harm them. Have you been diagnosed with EPILEPSY and maybe don't get any benefit from the medication? Do you suffer with LongQT?
