The QT interval

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2001
The effects of disease states and therapeutic drugs on the QT interval have been extensively studied in an attempt to understand the relationship between QT and the risk of torsade de pointes and sudden cardiac death. Differences in heart rate correction methods, electrocardiogram lead placement, and other internal (eg, genetic, physiologic) and ...

QT interval prolongation

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1985
The QT interval is a function of ventricular repolarization time and is measured from the onset of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave. The length of this interval is inversely related to heart rate. A prolonged QT interval is most often secondary to the use of Type I antidysrhythmic medications (quinidine, procainamide).

Fatal QT interval

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2008
A 21-year-old woman, without medical history, was admitted after cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of semiautomatic defibrillator quickly restored sinus rhythm. Clinical examination was normal with no cardiac murmur or abnormal heart sound. Electrocardiogram revealed sinus rhythm with short QT interval.

QT Interval Measurements

Cardiac Electrophysiology Review, 2002
The QT interval, which represents duration of ventricular electrical systole, i.e., the time required for completion of both ventricular depolarization and repolarization, has been a parameter of particular interest in cardiology. However, the relationship between duration of cellular action potentials and the QT interval recorded at the body surface ...

QT Interval and QT Variability

2012
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).

THE QT INTERVAL AND CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS

Annual Review of Medicine, 1987
The relation between the QT interval, ventricular arrhythmias, and dispersion of ventricular repolarization is reviewed. Conditions associated with prolonged QT interval in clinical practice are listed and discussed briefly. There is no conclusive evidence that prolonged QT is an independent prognostic marker in patients with coronary and other types ...

Corrected QT Interval (QT)

1989
The QT interval of the electrocardiogram (ECG) is measured from the onset of ventricular activity to the end of the T wave. Because the QT interval varies with heart rate in normal individuals a “corrected” QT interval is sometimes calculated to factor out heart rate-dependent effects to provide a measure that is independent of rate effects.

QT Interval and QT Dispersion in Eating Disorders

Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 2004
<i>Background:</i> Eating disorders are thought to be risk factors for cardiac sudden death secondary to arrhythmia. Results in previous studies on QT interval and QT dispersion, markers of fatal arrhythmia, have been inconsistent. <i>Methods:</i> We prospectively examined 179 female eating disorder patients, being over 18 years
