-==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.
