Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to long QT syndrome:

1. How dangerous is my condition?
   
   
2. How urgently do I need to begin treatment?
   
   
3. Is it possible for me to have long QT syndrome if I do not feel any symptoms?
   
   
4. What type of treatment do you recommend for my specific condition? Will I need to have a surgical procedure?
   
   
5. Could I need an artificial pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implanted?
   
   
6. Am I currently taking any medications that might have caused this condition? Will any of the medications I am taking interfere with your recommended treatment?
   
   
7. Are there any lifestyle changes I can make to improve my condition?
   
   
8. Will long QT syndrome affect my ability to get pregnant? Could the condition harm my unborn child?
   
   
9. Is it possible for me to pass this condition on to my children?
