Effect of QT interval-prolonging drugs taken in pregnancy on the neonatal QT interval [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Introduction: Acquired QT interval prolongations due to drug side effects can result in detrimental arrhythmia. Maternal use of placenta-permeable drugs may lead to fetal exposure, thus leading to an increased risk of neonatal QT prolongation and ...

The Measurement of the QT Interval [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Cardiology Reviews, 2014
The evaluation of every electrocardiogram should also include an effort to interpret the QT interval to assess the risk of malignant arrhythmias and sudden death associated with an aberrant QT interval.

Altered circadian rhythmicity of the QT interval predicts mortality in a large real-world academic hospital population [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon
Objective and rationale: Small studies have shown that the QT interval follows a circadian rhythm. This finding has never been confirmed in a large real-world hospital population and the clinical meaning of disrupted rhythmicity remains unknown. Methods:

A Study on the Diurnal Variation of Ventricular Repolarization Parameters in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]

open access: yesZhongguo quanke yixue, 2022
BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common sleep breathing disorder. More and more studies have shown that OSAHS has a significant correlation with cardiovascular disease.

Genetic analyses of the electrocardiographic QT interval and its components identify additional loci and pathways

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The QT interval is an electrocardiographic measure representing the sum of ventricular depolarization and repolarization, estimated by QRS duration and JT interval, respectively. QT interval abnormalities are associated with potentially fatal ventricular

Serial electrocardiogram recordings revealed a high prevalence of QT interval prolongation in patients with tuberculosis receiving fluoroquinolones

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2023
Background: Fluoroquinolones, crucial components of treatment regimens for drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), are associated with QT interval prolongation and risks of fatal cardiac arrhythmias. However, few studies have explored dynamic changes in the QT

Measurement of the QT interval using the Apple Watch

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The inherited and acquired long QT is a risk marker for potential serious cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Smartwatches are becoming more popular and are increasingly used for monitoring human health.

Risk of QT Interval Prolongation Associated With Use of Hydroxychloroquine With or Without Concomitant Azithromycin Among Hospitalized Patients Testing Positive for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

open access: yesJAMA cardiology, 2020
Importance Administration of hydroxychloroquine with or without azithromycin for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated pneumonia carries increased risk of corrected QT (QTc) prolongation and cardiac arrhythmias.

Corrected QT interval and QT dispersion in temporal lobe epilepsy

open access: yesThe 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.
