It doesn't stand for words, it refers to parts of the ECG (heart electricity scan - those beeping wiggly lines on the monitors in House!). The 'QRS' complex is the pointy bit that happens when the ventricles of the heart contract, and the T wave is the bump that follows the QRS complex and happens when the ventricles repolarise.
Long QT is a condition where repolarisation is delayed - the T wave is further away from the Q (first downstroke of the QRS complex) than in normal heart function.
What this means for people with the condition is that they are more at risk of dangerous abnormal heart rhythms, especially ventricular fibrillation (VF) which is where the heart goes haywire and can be a cause of cardiac arrest (the heart stopping) and death.
Some medicines, including antibiotics like Bactrim for UTIs, can make your QT interval longer and should be avoided by people with this condition.
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.
Long QT Syndrome is a condition which affects the heart and can cause fainting, heart palpitations, and death in some cases. This condition rarely shows symptoms, and is diagnosed by the results of an ECG. Some persons may experience increased fainting spells, and occurrences of seizures upon diagnosis.

Usually "quart," but that's not the only possibility.
The QT of LQTS refers to an interval between two points (Q and T) on the common electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) used to record the electrical activity of the heart.
Milk thistle is generally considered safe for most people, but if you have Long QT syndrome, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before taking it. Some herbal supplements can interact with medications or affect heart rhythms, which may be a concern for those with Long QT. Your doctor can provide personalized advice based on your specific health situation and medication regimen. Always prioritize safety and professional guidance when considering supplements.
