==Answer==
* The first rhythm strip shows sinusrhythm with a severely prolonged QT interval. In total four ventricular premature beats are present on this strip. All fall within the T wave of the previous sinus beat.
* The second strip shows [[Torsade de Pointes]] with a typical short (not shown) - long - short initial sequence.
* The third ECG shows severe QT prolongation with a stretched QT segment and small T wave, consistent with Type 2 [[LQTS]].
* The fourth ECG shows the same patient later in time.
