Measurement and interpretation of electrocardiographic QT intervals in murine hearts. [PDF]
, 2014 Alterations in ECG QT intervals correlate with the risk of potentially fatal arrhythmias, for which transgenic murine hearts are becoming increasingly useful experimental models. However, QT intervals are poorly defined in murine ECGs.

Long QT syndrome and torsades de pointes complicating mitral valve replacement
Indian Heart Journal, 2016 Severe QT interval prolongation >500 ms occurs in one quarter of cardiac surgical patients in the perioperative period while moderate prolongation occurs in most of them. Prolonged QT interval may be associated with torsades de pointes and lead to sudden

Corrected QT interval and QT dispersion in temporal lobe epilepsy
The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2021 Background Cardiac arrhythmias are expected among patients with epilepsy due to the effect of anti-epileptic drugs. Temporal lobe epilepsy also causes autonomic seizures that may affect heart rhythm.
