I have a pre-standing qt prolongation. i am scheduled for an mri with gadolinium-based contrast. is this safe for a person with long qt syndrome?

Question??: You say you have prolonged QT syndrome. That is a cardiac conduction defect. What do they want to do an MRI for? It has nothing to do with your heart. Maybe they are looking for something completely different. You should go see an electro physiologist about your cardiac conduction anomaly to see if they can do anything about that. And ask why the MRI??
