Heart Rate-Corrected QT Interval Helps Predict Mortality after Intentional Organophosphate Poisoning
INTRODUCTION In this study, we investigated the outcomes for patients with intentional organophosphate poisoning. Previous reports indicate that in contrast to normal heart rate-corrected QT intervals (QTc), QTc prolongation might be indicative of a poor prognosis for patients exposed to organophosphates. METHODS We analyzed the records of 118 patients who were referred to Chang Gung Memorial...
متن کاملQT Interval: Correction for Heart Rate
There are several empirically based proposals in the literature for adjusting QT intervals for heart rate. Two widely used correction formulas are Bazett’s and Fridericia’s. This study examines the general formulation of heart rate correction of QT intervals, and several of the existing adjustments are used with this approach. Simple correction formulas for both populations and individuals have...
متن کاملAssociation between maximal oxygen uptake and the heart rate corrected-QT interval in postmenopausal overweight women.
BACKGROUND Increased aerobic capacity can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease and the mortality rate. On the other hand, a prolonged heart rate corrected-QT (QTc) interval is associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias, cardiac sudden death and coronary artery disease. AIMS The association of the aerobic capacity and coronary risk factors with QTc interval was investigated in ...
متن کاملEffects of cisapride on corrected QT interval, heart rate, and rhythm in infants undergoing polysomnography.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of cisapride, a prokinetic gastrointestinal drug, on the electrocardiographic QT interval, heart rate, and rhythm in infants during routine 8-hour polysomnography. Reported electrocardiogram (ECG) and rhythm disturbances in a small number of patients with the use of cisapride provided the impetus for this prospective study. STUDY DESIGN Two hundred fifty-two ...
متن کامل[Corrected QT interval and corrected QT interval dispersion is worthwhile when interpreted with other repolarization measurements].
We read the article entitled ‘‘The effect of esmolol on corrected-QT interval, corrected-QT interval dispersion changes seen during anesthesia induction in hypertensive patients taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor’’ by Ceker et al. with interest.1 The authors investigated the effects of esmolol on the hemodynamic, correctedQT (QTc) interval and corrected-QT interval dispersion (QT...
