QTc interval measurement in patients with right bundle branch block: A practical method
Background and Aim Prolonging the QT interval in the right bundle branch block (RBBB) can create challenges for electrophysiologists in estimating repolarization time and eliminating the effect of depolarization changes on QT interval.

Diphenhydramine and QT prolongation – A rare cardiac side effect of a drug used in common practice [PDF]
There have been few cases in recent times where QT interval prolongation has been studied with regards to the use of diphenhydramine. We present a case of a patient who presented because of shortness of breath and needed emergent hemodialysis; during the

The ketogenic diet and the QT interval [PDF]
Long QT syndrome is a disorder of ventricular myocardial repolarization associated with an increased risk of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. This report highlights a case of QT prolongation with torsades de pointes in a patient with baseline congenital long QT syndrome, believed to be precipitated by metabolic changes ...

Meta-analysis of T peak –T end and T peak –T end /QT ratio for risk stratification in congenital long QT syndrome [PDF]
Background and objectives: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) predisposes affected individuals to ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VF/VF), potentially resulting in sudden cardiac death.

QT prolongation in HIV-positive patients: Review articleKey points
Introduction: Antiretrovirals have immensely increased the average life expectancy of HIV-positive patients. However, the incidence of QT interval prolongation and other arrhythmias has also increased. Methods: Pubmed and Google Scholar were searched for
