Hi
I read your query very carefully.
The prolonged QT syndrome is associated with major ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death, this is why the sport especially competitive sports isn't indicated for your daughter.
I recommend a full cardiac examination including Electrophysiologic study to decide the best treating option for her.
Hope this was of help!
