In the United States, an estimated 1 in 300,000 individuals per year die suddenly due to irregular heart rhythms.
Yes, individuals with long QT syndrome can be at risk for life-threatening arrhythmias, which can lead to sudden cardiac arrest or death. The condition affects the heart's electrical activity, potentially causing irregular heartbeats, particularly during physical activity or stress. With proper management and treatment, many people with long QT syndrome can lead normal lives, but awareness and monitoring are crucial to reduce risks.
It is generally advised to avoid using medications that can prolong the QT interval if you have long QT syndrome. Relpax (eletriptan) has the potential to prolong QT interval, so it is not recommended for individuals with long QT syndrome. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider who is familiar with your condition before taking any medication.
Prolonged QT syndrome is a heart condition where the electrical activity of the heart is affected, causing a delay in the repolarization of the ventricles. This delay can lead to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that can be life-threatening, such as torsades de pointes. It can be inherited or acquired through certain medications or medical conditions.
