Long QT Syndrome – Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Heart Palpitations

Long QT syndrome is a form of heart rhythm disorder that causes irregular and unpredictable heartbeats. Thus, you can easily identify this condition by measuring your heart rate. Normally, the heart will circulate blood throughout the body thanks to the contraction and relaxation of chambers. These activities are regulated by electrical signals traveling through the heart. However, long QT syndrome can increase the time between each beat, thus leading to heart palpitations. If left untreated for an extended period, it would lead to serious complications and heart disorder. [3]
