Methods of Assessment and Clinical Relevance of QT Dynamics [PDF]
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 and QT Variability [PDF]
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is among the most common types of mortality in developed countries. It for more deaths each year than the total number of deaths from AIDS, breast cancer, lung cancer and stroke together. SCD accounts for approximately 50% of all deaths from cardiovascular diseases and 20% of total mortality (1).

Congenital Short QT Syndrome [PDF]
Long QT intervals in the ECG have long been associated with sudden cardiac death. The congenital long QT syndrome was first described in individuals with structurally normal hearts in 1957.1 Little was known about the significance of a short QT ...

Common genetic variation near the phospholamban gene is associated with cardiac repolarisation: meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies [PDF]
To identify loci affecting the electrocardiographic QT interval, a measure of cardiac repolarisation associated with risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, we conducted a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies (GWAS ...

QT interval analysis in type 2 diabetic patients
Background: The electrocardiographic QT interval has been extensively studied in diabetes mellitus. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the relationship between diabetes and QT abnormalities .The QT interval, which is easily obtained from a ...

Genetic association study of QT interval highlights role for calcium signaling pathways in myocardial repolarization. [PDF]
The QT interval, an electrocardiographic measure reflecting myocardial repolarization, is a heritable trait. QT prolongation is a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) and could indicate the presence of the potentially ...

Increases of QT dispersion, corrected QT dispersion and QT interval in young healthy individuals during Ramadan fasting [PDF]
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 ...

A genome-wide association scan of RR and QT interval duration in 3 European genetically isolated populations:the EUROSPAN project [PDF]
We set out to identify common genetic determinants of the length of the RR and QT intervals in 2325 individuals from isolated European populations.We analyzed the heart rate at rest, measured as the RR interval, and the length of the corrected QT ...

Recent heart rate history affects QT interval duration in atrial fibrillation. [PDF]
QT interval prolongation is associated with a risk of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. QT interval shortens with increasing heart rate and correction for this effect is necessary for meaningful QT interval assessment.

QT-RR HYSTERESIS IS CAUSED BY DIFFERENTIAL AUTONOMIC STATES DURING EXERCISE AND RECOVERY [PDF]
QT-RR hysteresis is characterized by longer QT intervals at a given RR interval while heart rates are increasing during exercise and shorter QT intervals at the same RR interval while heart rates are decreasing during recovery.
