Some people with long QT syndrome don't have any symptoms. They may only become aware of their condition after having an electrocardiogram (ECG) for another reason.

Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a rare, inheritable channelopathy of the heart characterised by abnormally short QT intervals on the electrocardiogram (ECG) and an increased propensity to develop atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias in the absence of structural heart disease.

Heart Palpitation Symptoms: You may feel anxious, or "stressed out." You may feel your heart pounding in your chest or throat, which may cause pain or mild discomfort. You may also feel your heart "fluttering", and it may seem as if it is skipping a beat or beating irregularly.

Your heart may feel like it's pounding, fluttering or beating irregularly, often for just a few seconds or minutes. You may also feel these sensations in your throat or neck. Palpitations may seem alarming, but in most cases they're harmless and are not a sign of a serious problem.

Background: Premature ventricular complexes, or PVCs, are a common clinical problem. While patients may be asymptomatic, typically these PVCs cause sensations of skipping, heart pounding, and possibly chest pain, shortness of breath or dizziness.

People with WPW syndrome are born with an extra electrical pathway that changes the way these signals travel. Symptoms of the arrhythmia that occur in WPW syndrome may include palpitations, chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, or faintness. Some people experience few to no symptoms.

Trazodone may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can infrequently result in serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.

TCAs and SNRIs have also been shown to prolong the QT interval to varying degrees. Certain TCAs (eg, amitriptyline, maprotiline) may lead to QT prolongation, although others do not (eg, clomipramine). The risk of QT prolongation is similarly low for the SNRIs, including duloxetine and desvenlafaxine.

QT prolongation warning: Clarithromycin may cause the heart rhythm problem QT prolongation. This condition may cause fast, chaotic heartbeats. Diarrhea warning: Almost all antibiotics, including clarithromycin, can cause Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea.

The chaotic heartbeats prevent the heart chambers from properly filling with blood. As a result, your heart may not be able to pump enough blood to your body and lungs. Ventricular tachycardia may last for only a few seconds, or it can last for much longer. You may feel dizzy or short of breath, or have chest pain.

Some conditions may become worse when this drug is suddenly stopped. Also, you may experience symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, mood swings, headache, tiredness, diarrhea, sleep changes, and brief feelings similar to electric shock. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased to reduce side effects.

Arrhythmias may cause you to feel premature heartbeats, or you may feel that your heart is racing or beating too slowly. Other signs and symptoms may be related to your heart not pumping effectively due to the fast or slow heartbeat.

['The QT interval should be measured in either lead II or V5-6.', 'Several successive beats should be measured, with the maximum interval taken.', 'Large U waves (> 1mm) that are fused to the T wave should be included in the measurement.']

['Presence of a short PR interval (<120 ms)', 'A wide QRS complex longer than 120 ms with a slurred onset of the QRS waveform, termed a delta wave, in the early part of QRS.', 'Secondary ST-T wave changes (see the image below)']

['fast heart rate.', 'feeling nervous or anxious.', 'heart palpitations (feeling your heart flutter or skip a beat)', 'trouble sleeping.', 'muscle weakness.', 'weight loss.']

The QT interval should be measured manually, preferably by using one of the limb leads that best shows the end of the T wave on a 12-lead ECG. The QT interval should be measured from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave and averaged over 3 to 5 beats.
