A prolonged QT interval increases the risk of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (Torsades de Pointes) which can result in sudden cardiac death. Long QT 1: The ECG shows broad based T waves.

A prolonged QT interval has a variety of causes and can be a very serious ECG finding, as it may lead to the potentially fatal arrhythmia polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (Torsades de Pointes).
