Prolonged QT interval in Rett syndrome.
Rett syndrome is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder of unknown aetiology. A prolonged QT interval has been described previously in patients with Rett syndrome. To investigate QT prolongation and the presence of cardiac tachyarrhythmias in Rett syndrome electrocardiography and 24 hour Holter monitoring were performed prospectively in a cohort of 34 girls with Rett syndrome. The corrected QT va...
متن کاملProlonged Corrected QT Interval in Patients with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sudden cardiac death is one of the leading causes of death in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). It has been proposed that a prolonged QT interval is associated with sudden cardiac death in several neurological diseases, including multiple system atrophy, idiopathic Parkinson's disease, and diabetic autonomic neuropathy. However, analyses of the corrected QT (...
متن کاملQT interval measurement: evaluation of automatic QTc measurement and new simple method to calculate and interpret corrected QT interval.
BACKGROUND Assessment of repolarization duration is often recommended to avoid administration of QT-prolonging drugs in patients with prolonged QTc interval, a frequent situation in the postoperative period. Bazett QT correction inappropriately increases QTc when heart rate is increased, and the use of the Fridericia formula may avoid a falsely prolonged QTc interval. The authors assessed autom...
متن کاملCorrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation and syncope associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia.
An adolescent presented with exercise-associated syncope and electrocardiographic corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation. Pseudohypoparathyroidism-induced hypocalcemia was diagnosed. The QTc (485 to 505 milliseconds) shortened during normalization of calcium levels, and syncope has not reoccurred.
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...
