Long QT - No-ones' heard of it !!!!!

Wow - My (Girlfriends') Grandma has just been diagnosed with a condition called Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), THis is a a rare heart condition that affects one in 7000 people and makes their heart beat in a strange way, unfortnuately my girlfriend lost her sister a few years ago, this was put down down to Adult Cot Death Syndrome, however after her mum looked into it, it turns out that is was more than likely LQTS, My G/F has also has it as has her mum (now has a defibrilator fitted to her heart). Its amazing that G-Ma has only just been diagnosed at 81 though. and moreso that it was diagnosed by her own daughter (The Doctors has never heard of it) !!!!.
Still they looked it up on the internet and now know (Good old Google !!!) .

This is what killed Mark Vivien Foe a couple of years ago.

Get well soon G-Ma !!!!! xxx
