OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of cisapride on the corrected QT (QTc) interval in infants over a 14-day period. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective cohort study of infants receiving cisapride (0.8 mg/kg per ...
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 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 interval ...
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) ...
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 ...
