Increased vulnerability of human ventricle to re-entrant excitation in hERG-linked variant 1 short QT syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by abbreviated QT intervals and an increased susceptibility to arrhythmia and sudden death.

Effect of age and gender on QT interval

open access: yesNational Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2018
Background: The sudden cardiac death syndrome has a large preponderance in men compared to women and that too in older age group. Various population studies have demonstrated four- to seven-fold increase of sudden cardiac death among men compared with ...

Recent heart rate history affects QT interval duration in atrial fibrillation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
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.

Antipsychotics and Torsadogenic Risk: Signals Emerging from the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System Database [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Drug-induced torsades de pointes (TdP) and related clinical entities represent a current regulatory and clinical burden. Objective: As part of the FP7 ARITMO (Arrhythmogenic Potential of Drugs) project, we explored the publicly available US ...

Coffee, alcohol, smoking, physical activity and QT interval duration: results from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011

Sex and Rate Change Differences in QT/RR Hysteresis in Healthy Subjects

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
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 ...

Evaluation of differences in automated QT/QTc measurements between Fukuda Denshi and Nihon Koden systems. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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

open access: yesJurnal Respirasi, 2022
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

[QT Interval and Its Prolongation - What Does It Mean?]

open access: yes, 2020
The assessment of the QT interval has been an integral part of ECG interpretation since the first descriptions of long QT syndrome by Wolff in 1950 and by Jervell and Lange-Nielsen in 1957.

Integration of genetics into a systems model of electrocardiographic traits using humanCVD BeadChip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
<p>Background—Electrocardiographic traits are important, substantially heritable determinants of risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.</p> <p>Methods and Results—In this study, 3 population-based cohorts (n=10 526) genotyped ...
