Additional treatment options
Electrolyte management
Dietary and lifestyle modifications to maintain optimal electrolyte balance, particularly avoiding hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia which can exacerbate QT prolongation.
lifestyleDrug interaction screening
Comprehensive review and avoidance of QT-prolonging medications and drug interactions that could worsen the underlying condition.
medicationGenetic testing and family screening
Systematic cardiac evaluation of family members through ECG and genetic testing to identify affected relatives and implement early preventive measures.
