QT peak prolongation predicts cardiac death following stroke [PDF]
, 2015 Cardiac death has been linked in many populations to prolongation of the QT interval (QTe). However, basic science research suggested that the best estimate of the time point when repolarisation begins is near the T-wave peak.

The importance of the epinephrine provocation test for the hidden type-1 congenital long QT syndrome
Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2020 Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic channelopathy associated with a high incidence of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults. QT interval prolongation is typically the primary finding on the electrocardiography (ECG) recordings ...

The QT Intervals in Infancy and Time for Infantile ECG Screening for Long QT Syndrome [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Electrocardiographic and molecular studies have clarified an association between sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and long QT syndrome (LQTS), and few data are available for the QT interval in infancy from birth to 1 year of age ...

Parameters of ventricular repolarization in patients with autoimmune hepatitis
Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2017 Objective: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a liver disorder that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by inflammatory liver histology, elevated transaminase level, circulating nonorgan-specific autoantibodies, and increased level of ...

Pharmacogenetics of Drug-Induced QT Interval Prolongation: An Update [PDF]
, 2015 A prolonged QT interval is an important risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. QT prolongation can be caused by drugs. There are multiple risk factors for drug-induced QT prolongation, including genetic variation.

Dynamics of QT Interval in a Patient With Long QT Syndrome and a Normal QT Interval
Japanese Circulation Journal, 1998 A case report of a 15-year-old girl who experienced syncope and torsades de pointes is presented. The girl had a normal QT interval (QTc=0.37 sec) on the resting electrocardiogram (ECG). Infusion of isoproterenol induced QT prolongation (QTc=0.62 sec) and frequent occurrence of multiform ventricular premature beats. Her Holter ECG showed a prolongation

Automated versus Manual Measurement of the QT Interval and Corrected QT Interval [PDF]
Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2011 Background: The International Conference on Harmonization E14 Guideline specifies detailed assessment of QT interval or corrected QT interval prolongation when developing new drugs. We recently devised new software to precisely measure the QT interval.

New electrocardiographic criteria to differentiate acute pericarditis and myocardial infarction [PDF]
, 2014 Objective Transmural myocardial ischemia induces changes in QRS complex and QT interval duration but, theoretically, these changes might not occur in acute pericarditis provided that the injury is not transmural.
