The diagnosis of short QT syndrome is often challenging, as corrected QT intervals of normal individuals and patients with short QT syndrome overlap considerably. We discuss the usefulness and ...
The QT interval is the time from the beginning of the QRS complex (ventricular depolarization) to the end of the T wave (ventricular repolarization). The normal QT interval is controversial and ...
The maternal heart significantly adapts to the circulatory needs of pregnancy, but the effect of pregnancy on ventricular repolarization is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to quantify ...
The QT interval on an electrocardiogram signifies the time required for the heart to repolarize after depolarization. It has long been appreciated that a long QT interval predisposes patients to ...
A prolonged QT interval creates an electro-physiological environment that is favorable for the development of cardiac arrhythmias. A new study in Holland suggests that yet another group of ...
ROTTERDAM, the NETHERLANDS — A new analysis of participants in a population-based cohort study suggests at least two ECGs might be useful to stratify individuals at risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) ...
