Finally got the results of the genetic testing for my Long QT back... Turns out I do not have any gene abnormalities showing that the Long QT was inherited. (Still don't know why I have it.) I am shocked as I was pretty certain that this was the cause of my cardiac arrest but completely relieved because now I don’t have to worry about my daughter inheriting Long QT from me. So… my cardiologist says that my cardiac arrest was most likely caused by Idiopathic nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy… after looking multiple words up I have a better understanding of what all of this means yet no real answer as to what actually caused my cardiac arrest. I’m sure quite a few of us go on never really knowing why things happened and I guess that is ok but sometimes I would just love a clear cut answer… So I will just go on living my life to the fullest and continue to be thankful that I have more good days than bad. - Brianne
