    GlossaryShort QT Syndrome

    genetic heart condition causing abnormally short QT interval

    Short QT Syndrome (SQT) is a rare genetic heart condition characterized by an abnormally short QT interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG), which can lead to an increased risk of arrhythmias, fainting, and sudden cardiac death. This condition is caused by mutations in genes that affect the electrical activity of the heart, and it often requires medical management to prevent life-threatening complications.
