Arrythmia: The different waves on the ekg represent the electrical impulses reaching different parts of the heart as it beats. Long qt syndrome is a condition where the electrical signals take longer than normal to pass through the heart. It may be caused by medication or may be congenital. Long qt may progress to life-threatening arrhythmias, so it is important to be monitored by your doctor frequently.
