Abstract: This paper reports the inpatient care and nine-year follow-up management experience of a patient with Type 3 Long QT Syndrome.During hospitalization,efforts were focused on accurate symptom identification and emergency intervention.Key points in post-discharge follow-up care include medication education to prevent the use of drugs that prolong the QT interval on ECG,the application of anticipatory care to enhance the patient's self-management skills,and the joint development of a family emergency plan by relatives and healthcare providers.Additionally,the comprehensive family genetic health management was implemented.Through systematic screening,disease education,and continuous follow-up,the patient was maintained on long-term oral metoprolol post-discharge,with no further cardiac adverse events.The cardiac function of the patient improved,and during follow-up,the patient exhibited good recovery,being able to perform self-monitoring as required,and retumed to normal life.
