Welcome to healkthcaremagic.com. First off, do you mean long QT Interval not revival. In long QT interval, it means that there is something that is stopping the conduction of the heart impulse/electrical activity. A lot of times medications can do this especially antibiotics, also heart medications that are used to slow down your heart. Other times your heart develops scar tissue for a number of reasons and the electrical impulse takes a long time to depolarize the heart. A heart specialist will be able to tease out the cause and prescribe the correct therapy. Hope this helps. Good luck
