An Electrical Problem Can Affect Your Heart Even When Its Structure Looks Normal
A person can have a heart that appears structurally healthy but still develop a dangerous heart rhythm disorder.
One example is long QT syndrome, a condition affecting the heart’s electrical recovery between beats. It can be inherited or triggered by certain medications or electrolyte abnormalities.
Some individuals experience fainting, seizures, or dangerous irregular heartbeats, while others have no noticeable symptoms.
Why it matters: A normal-looking heart does not always mean there is no underlying cardiovascular disorder. An electrocardiogram (ECG) can help identify electrical abnormalities that routine physical examinations may miss.
