QT Interval Evaluation in Right Ventricular Pacing: Validation of a Novel Formula

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background QT interval measurement in the presence of right ventricular pacing (RVP) represents a clinical challenge. We therefore aimed to derive and validate a formula for QT estimation during RVP in a large cohort of pacemaker patients. Methods and Results We prospectively enrolled 100 patients in a derivation cohort and 487 in a validation
