Clinical Guidelines for Long QT Syndrome

Clinical guidelines for Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) provide evidence-based recommendations to diagnose and manage this heart condition that can cause abnormal heart rhythms and fainting. They emphasize accurate testing, risk assessment, and personalized treatment, such as medications or lifestyle adjustments, to prevent dangerous arrhythmias. The guidelines also highlight the importance of family screening and genetic counseling, since LQTS can be inherited. Overall, they aim to improve patient safety, reduce sudden cardiac events, and ensure appropriate care through standardized practices rooted in current scientific understanding.
