Syncope,Migraine Syndrome and Family Hx Long Q T Syndrome

Posted By Kathy on June 17, 1999 at 14:17:58
I have an 8 year old son who has in the last year had 1 syncopal incident and has recently been experiencing migraine headaches. He has a postive family hx ( 1st cousin) of Long Q T Syndrome. He is presently being monitored re LQTS and shows some T ( biphasic) wave alterations with occassional coupling of premature venticular beats the QT interval within Normal ranges. The males in his paternal family have a multitude of cardiac conduction problems and his father has Left bundle branch blockage and Left Ventrical Myopathy ( ? genetic)there is also  AFIB, along with  strong lipid related disorders. His father and uncles have all suffered Cardiac arrest between ages of 20-40. With one incident of dizziness and sudden cardiac death at age 48. I am very concerned with this recent development of Migraines and feel that he should be undergo a full Cardiac evaluation again along with a Neuro assessment. Can Migraines be a symptom of cardiac problems or am I off in my thinking?????
