QT is longer in drug-free patients with schizophrenia compared with age-matched healthy subjects. [PDF]
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.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF DRUGINDUCED INTERVALS QT AND QTC PROLONGATION
Interval QT prolongation is a predictor of the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias — polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (torsade de pointes). Long QT syndrome may be congenital or acquired.

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 ...

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.

Palbociclib has no clinically relevant effect on the QTc interval in patients with advanced breast cancer. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to assess the potential effects of palbociclib in combination with letrozole on QTc. PALOMA-2, a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, compared palbociclib plus letrozole with placebo plus letrozole in ...

Prolonged QT interval: A tricky diagnosis? [PDF]
Prolonged heart-rate adjusted QT intervals on the electrocardiogram (ECG) are associated with an increased risk far coronary heart disease and sudden death. However, the diagnosis of the prolonged QT interval is hampered by lack of standards.

QTc evaluation in patients with bundle branch block
Proper measurement of the QT interval on the 12-lead body-surface ECG is challenging in daily practice. Even more difficult is its correct estimation in the presence of repolarization abnormalities, arrhythmias or bundle-branch blocks (BBB).
