Prolonged QT interval in condition of hypokalemia and hypomagnesemiawas observed on initial electrocardiography. However, even after normalization of serum potassium, magnesiumand mentality, QT prolongation was sustained. In addition, genetic analysis showed KCNH2 mutation which was consistentwith type 2 congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS).
