So, effectively, your heart stops for a fraction of a second? Or am I misunderstanding that?Likely Long QT Syndrome. A genetic heart problem where there is a delay between a portion of the electrical message through the heart tissue. Seen as a longer interval between the Q and T waves on an ECG (EKG for the Yanks).

Excessive exertion can trigger a cardiac arrest. This is what caused those famous footballers to go into cardiac arrest during matches. Some medicines, like antidepressants, can also prolong the QT interval which is very dangerous for people with Long QT Syndrome. There is often a family history of sudden cardiac death in relatively young people.

Interesting...thxThink of it more as a delay in the ‘recharge’ period after contraction. So under normal circumstances the heart beats normally. But under strain, the electrical activity can become disorganised leading to a cardiac arrest rhythm (not consistent with pumping blood).
The ‘T wave’ on an ECG is created when the larger ventricles reset after beating.

This animation shows where the electrical impulse travels compared to the ECG.
