Congenital long-QT syndrome is characterized
by a prolonged QT interval in the electrocardiogram
(more than 460 ms, corrected for heart
rate), sudden attacks of missed heart beats
(syncopes) or series of rapid heart beats (torsades
de pointes), and an increased risk for sudden
death from ventricular fibrillation in
children and young adults.
