Not super likely: Long qt syndrome (lqts) is a congenital heart defect that may result in syncope and lead to sudden cardiac death, which usually occurs in otherwise healthy young individuals. Lqts is thought to cause about 4000 deaths in the United States each year. The chance of someone dying from this is approximately 6% by the age of 40 years. (from medscape's emedicine).
