The article provides information on the hazardous side effects of medication which is referred as long QT syndrome (LQTS). LQTS include lengthening of QT interval on electrocardiogram indicating large lapse between the depolarization and repolarization of ventricles of heart. LQTS also occurs due to mutation in atleast 13 genes. Cardiologist Ira Cohen presented in a paper that amplifying phosphoinositide 3-kinases signaling will help in counteracting LQTS.
