Genetic Testing For Long QT Syndrome Test - Book at an Affordable Price

Long QT syndrome disrupts the heart's regular electrical activity. The QT interval is the section of an electrocardiogram (EKG) trace showing the heart rhythm shift. 

While LQTS does not typically create symptoms, it can trigger potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias. LQTS sufferers can also faint. If you have LQTS, you must manage it to avoid these.

Many clinicians recommend a genetic test for long QT syndrome to confirm the diagnosis. 

It's vital to note that long QT syndrome genetic tests cannot detect all hereditary cases. Families should consult a genetic counselor before and after testing. If you have long QT syndrome, your doctor may suggest testing additional family members to see if they have the same gene.

Why Done? 

People with LQTS are worried because the heart needs to have an even, steady rhythm and electrical activity to beat. When a person has LQTS, it is easier for the heart to beat out of time. People who have that happen don't get enough oxygen-rich blood to their bodies and brains.

Some people with LQTS don't show signs, but those who do might notice:

• Fluttering feelings in the chest.
• Loud gasping while sleeping.
• Passing out for no known reason when you are asleep.
