QT
Results:
Short QT Interval: DDx
Key Points: Short QT Interval: A QT interval is considered short when the corrected QT (QTc) interval is less than 350 ms. A short QT interval on the ECG can…
Prolonged QT Interval: DDx
Key Points: The QT interval reflects the time it takes for total ventricular depolarization and repolarization (Q wave onset to T wave end). QT prolongation increases the risk of torsades…
T Wave Alternans
Key Points: Definition: Beat-to-beat alternation in T wave amplitude or morphology with stable P waves and QRS complexes. Significance: A visible marker of ventricular electrical instability. Strongly associated with torsades,…
QT Interval: Basics
Key Points Definition: QT = onset of QRS → end of T; reflects total ventricular depolarization + repolarization. Rate correction (QTc): Use corrected QT interval, because QT shortens with faster…
Short QT Syndrome
Key Points Short QT Syndrome (SQTS) is a rare condition characterized by a shortened QT interval on the ECG, increasing the risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, including sudden cardiac…
Congenital Long QT Syndrome
Key Points Congenital Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by a prolonged QT interval on ECG, leading to an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and…
Acquired Long QT Syndrome
Key Points Acquired Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is the most common form of LQTS, resulting from medications, electrolyte disturbances, or underlying medical conditions. High-risk factors include the use of multiple…
