I went to the PEPC for ATC a couple of weeks ago (in KC, OK) and the doctor informed me that I had long QT phases on the EKG. I have been reading up on LQTS and have a couple of questions:
1. I've had a few EKG's in past flight physicals (military) and have never heard anything abnormal. Is it possible that this most recent one was a fluke?
2. Will it disqualify me from air traffic control?
3. What causes LQTS when it is not hereditary? (There is no history of it on either side of my family.)
I appreciate any responses, and yes, I will be going to a cardiologist.
Thank you.
