and chloride -- in and out of the cells through tiny channels, or tubes. With LQTS, there’s a glitch that slows down the heart’s ability to recharge. Its name comes from the way this slower rhythm looks on an electrocardiogram (EKG), a test that measures the heart’s electrical acti...
She was found to have QT interval prolongation on EKG and elevated troponins. Initially thought to have non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Cardiac catheterization did not reveal coronary artery disease. The ventriculography suggested apical ballooning and the diagnosis of TCM with ...
Effect of obesity and regional adiposity on the QTc interval in women. distribution patterns are associated with a prolongation of the corrected QT interval for heart rate (QTc) on the electrocardiogram (EKG) during rest and ... JJ Park,PD Swan - 《International Journal of Obesity & Related ...
Some authors put emphasis on a synergism of risk factors. In order to avoid severe circulation side effects (QT prolongation, TdP) the following recommenda- tions are forwarded: ECG assessment before admission to methadone substitution therapy, monitor- ing of ECG during treatment with methadone, ...
On re-admission to our Cardiology Unit, the clinical examination was substantially normal and the EKG showed the presence of sinus rhythm with depolarization abnormalities in lateral leads with marked QT prolongation (QT 470 ms with HR 73 bpm, QTc 495 ms). The patient denied the assumption of ...
prevention of SCD in patients with SQTS is challenging given the lack of predictive risk factors, however those who have experienced VT/VF should undergo ICD placement (Priori and Blomström-Lundqvist, 2015;Giustetto et al., 2011). There is some data that quinidine, through QT prolongation, ...

KardiaMobile was found to be effective in detecting QT prolongation, which allowed for treatment adjustments in the affected patients. While they used the same KardiaMobile device as the present study, they simplified the recording to a single lead by placing the device on the anterior aspect of...
