NIH links prolonged QT heart interval to crib death
NIH researchers led by Drs Maron Clark Goldstein Epstein found a prolonged QT interval in 26 percent of parents who lost an infant to SIDS and in 39 percent of surviving children. A 10 month old saved from crib death also showed the interval. They caution that this suggests possible hereditary factors but does not prove causation. Further studies are underway.
