Take Control of Your Heart Health with KCNQ1 Long QT Syndrome Genetic Testing
If you’ve experienced unexplained fainting, palpitations, or have a family history of sudden cardiac events, you understand the constant worry that comes with not knowing. The KCNQ1 Long QT Syndrome Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to protect your heart and your future. For South Africans concerned about inherited heart conditions, this test offers peace of mind through advanced genetic analysis.
Understanding Your KCNQ1 Long QT Syndrome Test
Long QT Syndrome is a serious heart rhythm disorder that can cause fast, chaotic heartbeats, leading to fainting, seizures, or sudden cardiac arrest. The KCNQ1 gene plays a crucial role in regulating your heart’s electrical activity. When this gene contains mutations, it can disrupt the normal rhythm of your heartbeat, creating potentially life-threatening situations.
Our test uses cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine your KCNQ1 gene with exceptional accuracy. This isn’t just a simple blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides detailed insights into your specific heart health risks.
Who Should Consider This Important Heart Health Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained fainting spells or seizures, especially during exercise or emotional stress
- Heart palpitations or the feeling of your heart “racing” unexpectedly
- A family history of sudden cardiac death or unexplained drownings
- Relatives diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome or other heart rhythm disorders
- Abnormal ECG results showing prolonged QT intervals
- Concerns about passing heart conditions to your children
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed heart conditions that could be managed effectively with proper detection. Don’t let uncertainty control your life.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Heart Health
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to take proactive steps toward heart health management:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate the constant worry about unexplained symptoms
- Personalised Treatment: Work with your cardiologist to develop a tailored management plan

For many patients, receiving a clear diagnosis is the first step toward regaining control over their health and reducing anxiety about their symptoms.
