sudden arrhythmia death syndrome

I just picked up on the conversation about sudden arrhythmia death syndrome.
I work for Guidant who has been around from the beginning in developing devices 
to correct heart arrhythmias. Go to www.guidant.com or send me a specific 
question and I will forward it to someone in the company.

> Hi Ingrid, you started me searching into what Long Q-T syndrome is and i'm

> Anyway, you asked about our ancestors:  I have no knowledge of any sudden

> problems.  One had fainting spells in his younger years; though tested in the
> 1950's nothing was found and he has since passed on due to other causes.
> Another relative is facing ARRHYTHMIAS now at the age of 2 and has been placed

> All in all, I appreciate your info and most certainly will investigate this
