Yes: However, the this is not the typical treatment for long-QT syndrome by itself. A breathing, or CPAP, machines is generally used to treat sleep apnea. Variations in the heart rate of a patient with both sleep apnea and long QT syndrome, can cause a dangerous combination, making it more important to treat the sleep apnea adequately. Consider a referral to heart rhythm and sleep specialists.
