Long QT syndrome is a congenital disease resulting from abnormalities in the ion channels of the heart.  Long QT syndrome should be differentiated from secondary QT prolongation. There are multiple causes of secondary QT prolongation that are distinct from long QT syndrome such as drugs (anti-arrhythmic drugs, anti-psychotic drugs), electrolyte disturbances  ([[hyperkalaemia]], [[hypocalcaemia]], [[hypoglycaemia]], [[hypokalaemia]], and [[hypomagnesemia]]), neurologic events such as [[subarachnoid hemorrhage]], and [[anorexia nervosa]].

Common causes of [disease] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].
 
OR
 
The most common cause of [disease name] is [cause 1]. Less common causes of [disease name] include [cause 2], [cause 3], and [cause 4].

===Life-threatening Causes===
*Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of [[disease name]], however complications resulting from untreated [[disease name]] is common.
*Life-threatening causes of [symptom/manifestation] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].
*[Cause] is a life-threatening cause of [disease].


==Causes of QT Prolongation==
===Common Causes===
===Common Causes===
Common causes of [disease name] may include:
====Drugs====
*[Cause1]
Drug induced QT prolongation is usually a result of treatment by [[Antiarrhythmic agent|anti-arrhythmic]] drugs  or a number of other drugs that have been reported to cause this problem (e.g. [[cisapride]]).  Some [[anti-psychotic]] drugs, such as [[Haloperidol]] and [[Ziprasidone]], have a prolonged QT interval as a rare side effect. Genetic mutations may make one more susceptible to drug induced QT prolongation.
*[Cause2]
*[Cause3]


====Long QT Syndrome====
Genetic abnormalities cause the [[Long QT Syndrome]].


OR
====Electrolyte Disturbances====
Electrolyte disturbances such as [[hyperkalaemia]], [[hypocalcaemia]], [[hypoglycaemia]], [[hypokalaemia]], and [[hypomagnesemia]] can cause QT prolongation.


====Neurologic Events====
[[Subarachnoid hemorrhage]] and other intracranial events can cause QT prolongation.  Widely slayed [[cerebral T waves]] are often seen as well.


*[Disease name] is caused by an infection with [pathogen name].
====Anorexia Nervosa====
*[Pathogen name] is caused by [pathogen name].
[[Anorexia nervosa]] and [[starvation]] can cause QT prolongation.
 
===Less Common Causes===
Less common causes of [disease name] include:
*[Cause1]
*[Cause2]
*[Cause3]
 
===Genetic Causes===
*[Disease name] is caused by a mutation in the [gene name] gene.

Template:Long QT syndrome Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief:

Overview

Long QT syndrome is a congenital disease resulting from abnormalities in the ion channels of the heart. Long QT syndrome should be differentiated from secondary QT prolongation. There are multiple causes of secondary QT prolongation that are distinct from long QT syndrome such as drugs (anti-arrhythmic drugs, anti-psychotic drugs), electrolyte disturbances (hyperkalaemia, hypocalcaemia, hypoglycaemia, hypokalaemia, and hypomagnesemia), neurologic events such as subarachnoid hemorrhage, and anorexia nervosa.

Causes of QT Prolongation

Common Causes

Drugs

Drug induced QT prolongation is usually a result of treatment by anti-arrhythmic drugs or a number of other drugs that have been reported to cause this problem (e.g. cisapride). Some anti-psychotic drugs, such as Haloperidol and Ziprasidone, have a prolonged QT interval as a rare side effect. Genetic mutations may make one more susceptible to drug induced QT prolongation.

Long QT Syndrome

Genetic abnormalities cause the Long QT Syndrome.

Electrolyte Disturbances

Electrolyte disturbances such as hyperkalaemia, hypocalcaemia, hypoglycaemia, hypokalaemia, and hypomagnesemia can cause QT prolongation.

Neurologic Events

Subarachnoid hemorrhage and other intracranial events can cause QT prolongation. Widely slayed cerebral T waves are often seen as well.

Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa and starvation can cause QT prolongation.
