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 ...

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.

Sex and Rate Change Differences in QT/RR Hysteresis in Healthy Subjects
While it is now well-understood that the extent of QT interval changes due to underlying heart rate differences (i.e., the QT/RR adaptation) needs to be distinguished from the speed with which the QT interval reacts to heart rate changes (i.e., the so ...

Increased Short-Term Beat-To-Beat Variability of QT Interval in Patients with Acromegaly. [PDF]
Cardiovascular diseases, including ventricular arrhythmias are responsible for increased mortality in patients with acromegaly. Acromegaly may cause repolarization abnormalities such as QT prolongation and impairment of repolarization reserve enhancing ...

Evaluation of differences in automated QT/QTc measurements between Fukuda Denshi and Nihon Koden systems. [PDF]
Automatic measurement becomes a preference, and indeed a necessity, when analyzing 1000 s of ECGs in the setting of either drug-inducing QT prolongation screening or genome-wide association studies of QT interval.

Bedaquiline Correlation to QT Interval Prolongation in DR-TB Patients
Introduction: The regimen of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is Bedaquiline. One of the adverse events is QT interval prolongation, which can increase the risk of Torsade de Pointes (TdP) and lead to death. DR-TB patient screening before starting the
