A prolonged QT interval has a variety of causes and can be a very serious ECG finding, as it may lead to the potentially fatal arrhythmia polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (Torsades de Pointes).

They have to look at the ECG themselves, they have to measure the QT interval themselves, and then make the decision: am I still concerned about the possibility of QT interval, yes or no?" ...

The QT interval is the time from the beginning of the QRS complex, representing ventricular depolarization, to the end of the T wave, resulting from ventricular repolarization. The normal QT ...

However, the 12-lead ECG remains the universal initial diagnostic test in the evaluation of LQTS and is subject to miscalculation, misinterpretation and mishandling. This review discusses the ...

Multiple other ECG traits have also emerged as potential predictors of stroke, namely cardiac electrical/structural remodeling – Q wave, QRS/QT duration, bundle blocks, P wave duration/amplitude ...

While everybody's heart has an absolute chronological age (as old as that person is), hearts also have a theoretical "biological" age that is based on how the heart functions. So, someone who is 50 ...

left axis deviation and conduction delays and findings suggestive or diagnostic of primary electrical diseases such as long QT syndrome and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The evaluation of abnormal ...
