                        Long QT: I assume your talking about the QR of the heart many medications as well as electrolyte problems can cause thia. I don't know but if your wife needed surgery she should have it done! Hitech hospitals are able to do this surgery if they think it is needed. I believe if she needs surgery  for something slse these hopitals have the answers. I've never heard of long QT being genetic but the experts would have this info.      GOOD Luck Janie
