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 ...

Prevalence of the QT interval prolongation and its risk factors in hospitalized geriatric patients: findings of a single center cross-sectional study in Pakistan [PDF]
BMC GeriatricsBackground and objectives Geriatric inpatients are particularly susceptible to Torsades de Pointes (TdP) because they are usually polymorbid and often take QT-prolonging drugs.

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

Journal 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

The Measurement of the QT Interval [PDF]
Current 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. The QT interval is measured from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T-wave, and should be corrected for heart rate to enable comparison

Journal of Human Hypertension, 2000 QT interval has been determined in 103 monozygotic (MZ) and 198 dizygotic (DZ) female twins. Mean values of corrected QT (QTc) were almost identical for both groups at 413 ms (MZ) and 412 ms (DZ). There was a significant age and environmental effect on QT interval. Heritability explained about 25% of the variation in QT.

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.

QT is longer in drug-free patients with schizophrenia compared with age-matched healthy subjects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The potassium voltage-gated channel KCNH2 is a well-known gene in which mutations induce familial QT interval prolongation. KCNH2 is suggested to be a risk gene for schizophrenia.
