Description of Romano Ward Syndrome Symptoms and characteristics Romano-Ward syndrome is a condition that causes a disruption of the heart's normal rhythm. This disorder is a form of long QT syndrome, which is a heart condition that causes the heart muscle to take longer than usual to recharge between beats. The irregular heartbeats can lead to fainting or cardiac arrest and sudden death. Romano-Ward syndrome is the most common form of inherited long QT syndrome, affecting an estimated 1 in 7,000 people worldwide

Description of Glaucoma (cont.) Who is affected?

In most cases, an affected person inherits the mutation from one affected parent. Outlook or quality of life Researcher: EG
