Methods of Assessment and Clinical Relevance of QT Dynamics [PDF]
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2005 The dependence on heart rate of the QT interval has been investigated for many years and several mathematical formulae have been proposed to describe the QT interval/heart rate (or QT interval/RR interval) relationship. While the most popular is Bazett’s
