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

Methods of Assessment and Clinical Relevance of QT Dynamics
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

QT Interval Revisited —Not Just the Matter of “Interval,” but “Dynamics, Variability and Morphology” Matter!— [PDF]
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2007 Recently, the effects of QT interval prolongation have received more attention among clinicians, industry, and official regulatory agencies. Some have advocated the total elimination or discontinuing development of drugs which prolong the QT interval. In

Increases of QT dispersion, corrected QT dispersion and QT interval in young healthy individuals during Ramadan fasting [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2003 Ramadan fasting is one of the most important religious duties of Muslims, that its effect on the heart has not been determined yet. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of Ramadan fasting on ventricular repolarization as assessed by QT interval ...

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.
