Long Q-T/Wenckebach's difference
Tim J.
Syndrome and Wenckebach's Syndrome? I know both have to do with
electrical signals to the heart, and dizziness and/or fainting occur
with both, but that's about all I can tie together.
Thanks!

I'm not a Doctor, just a heart patient (who gets confused with all the heart
condition & medication names :) trying to help with your question.
It sounds like the "Q T" thing is the name of the type of signal given from
an ECG or EKG which means, to me, it could be the same name for
"Wenckebach's Syndrome".
Some quick Google searches yielded:

In the files section of
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/heartarrhythmiasupport/ (which is a
very good support group) there is a folder named Understanding basic EKG
readings which might clarify your type of heart signals if you have your ECG
printout in your possession.
Those EKG files are also located here

Hope this helps.

No, I think they're different. The long QT wave caused the instant
death of an otherwise healthy 18 year old male that I knew. I was
recently diagnosed with Wenckeback's and was trying to understand the
difference, for obvious reasons.

You must have picked a better set of search terms than I did.:-)

I do have them. I will check that out.

This one seemed to be the most helpful. If I'm understanding it
correctly, the disruption in WS occurs in the PR interval, while LQT
looks to be on the other end of the beat cycle.

It does. I have a doctor's visit in 2 weeks. He wasn't the
diagnosing physician, but it'll help for me to understand the
differences when I discuss this with him.
Thanks.

I've still not yet gotten my head into interpreting my old ECG readout from
pre-pacer days.
Good luck with it all.
