Twelve ECG leads were monitored continuously during peripartum in a 23‐year‐old Japanese woman diagnosed as having the long Q‐T (Romano‐Ward) syndrome. Corrected Q‐T (Q‐Tc) intervals determined by 2 investigators blinded from the clinical informations disclosed that the Q‐Tc interval increased during labor, suggesting that physical and/or emotional stress during labor might cause prolonged Q‐Tc intervals in women with the long QT syndrome.
