Novel genes for QTc interval. How much heritability is explained, and how much is left to find? [PDF]
, 2010 The corrected QT (QTc) interval is a complex quantitative trait, believed to be influenced by several genetic and environmental factors. It is a strong prognostic indicator of cardiovascular mortality in patients with and without cardiac disease.

Long QT interval in Turner syndrome--a high prevalence of LQTS gene mutations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 QT-interval prolongation of unknown aetiology is common in Turner syndrome. This study set out to explore the presence of known long QT mutations in Turner syndrome and to examine the corrected QT-interval (QTc) over time and relate the findings to the ...

Mechanisms, Risk Factors, and Management of Acquired Long QT Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
The Scientific World Journal, 2012 Long QT syndrome is characterized by prolongation of the corrected QT (QTc) interval on the surface electrocardiogram and is associated with precipitation of torsade de pointes (TdP), a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that may cause sudden death ...

Long QT syndrome – Bench to bedside
Heart Rhythm O2, 2021 Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiovascular disorder characterized by an abnormality in cardiac repolarization leading to a prolonged QT interval and T-wave irregularities on the surface electrocardiogram. It is commonly associated with syncope, seizures,
