[[Image:Lqts1-3.png|right|thumb|400px|Various ECG patterns can be recognized among the different genotypes. LQT1 is characterised by prolonged QT intervals associated with a broad-based T wave. LQT2 is characterised by low-amplitude and notched T waves. LQT3 is characterised by long ST segments with a late-appearing T wave resulting in a long QT interval.]]

ECGs can be difficult because there is a considerable overlap between the QT interval of affected and unaffected individuals.
