The Pattern of Ventricular Repolarization during Therapeutic Hypothermia
… hypothermia has been itself known to cause prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc). QTc prolongation can cause polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). The interval from the peak to the end of the T wave (TpTe) indicates myocardial transmural …

Genetic Variants and Risk in Sudden Cardiac Death Syndromes
… in patients with LQTS, independently of the QTc interval. 3) In patients with HCM, marked QTc prolongation was associated with an increased risk of SCD events, and the minor alleles of SNPs at the NOS1AP locus influenced QTc length but were not directly associated with SCD events. 4) In …

Improving Patient Safety by Calculating the QT Correction in Critical Care Patients
<p>Prolonged QTc is recognized as a precursor to Torsades de Points and other lethal ventricular arrhythmias. 52% or patients in critical care units have prolonged QTc and 69% or critical care patients have risks of developing QTc. Many commonly administered medications in the critical care unit …

Assessing the Relationship Between Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Generated QTc Alerts and Cancer Patient Mortality
BACKGROUND: EMR generated drug associated QTc alerts are generated frequently in cancer patient populations and in the last few years their annual frequency has outgrown the number of unique patient visits at our institution. Anecdotally, they are largely ignored by providers, contributing to …
