Life threatening symptoms are often unpredictable although there are known triggers to LQTS specific cardiac events. Triggers include physical exertion, emotional upset, and sleep. Events could be triggered by medications, dehydration, and other circumstances that affect cardiac rhythm. Treatments include...

Severity of symptoms and psychological factors predict development of PTSD symptoms for other cardiac diseases (Whitehead et al., 2006). Effects of LQTS-related events have not been studied. Individuals with PTSD show poorer problem solving compared to those without PTSD (Sutherland & Bryant, 2008)...
For some unfortunate symptomatic individuals, the initial presentation of LQTS symptoms leads to sudden cardiac death. The goal of genetic testing for LQTS is to prevent sudden death through medical therapy, to counsel the individual and their family, and to assist with lifestyle changes (CSANZ,...
Low penetrance of QTc and symptoms resulted in diagnostic challenge. ECG patterns and repolarization parameters may be used to predict the genotype in most families. Genetic test is very important for identification of gene carriers.廉姜芳崔长琮薛小临黄辰崔翰斌华中科技大学学报(医学英德文版)...

Some of the symptoms are particularly suggestive. Chest pain is the key symptom, and the greater the intensity, usually described as a migratory intrathoracic tearing sensation...doi:10.1016/S1071-3581(97)91561-0BONTEMPSLJournal of Nuclear Cardiology...
Seven carriers for A490T and the minor allele T of SNP K897T showed shorter QTc and fewer symptoms than carriers with A490T or A490P (P < 0.0001). Conclusion Our family-based approach provides support that KCNH2 SNP K897T confers a protective effect on LQTS patients. Our study is the ...
LQTS patients are typically not assessed for psychological symptoms. Little research on QoL in pediatric LQTS patients has been conducted to determine if psychosocial interventions are warranted.Waldron, Elizabeth AFelgoise, Stephanie HTress, Carmella...
