@Notguest: the OP references an acute problem more than a chronic one. If anything, it represents the time period in the immediate vicinity of the heart attack.
Also, expect at least SOME asspull out of us in the name of artistic license.

The wiki entry linked says:
The diagnosis of LQTS is not easy since 2.5% of the healthy population have prolonged QT interval, and 10–15% of LQTS patients have a normal QT interval
...so apparently you can have a pretty normal-looking ECG.

, I didn't think about that...This is just for your info, research is going in the direction of genetic diagnosis of LQTS, with ECG as a monitoring measure:
