[19] [39] Almost half of patients with type 1 diabetes have a prolonged QTc interval (> 440 ms). [19] Diabetes with a prolonged QTc interval was associated with a 29% mortality over 10 years in comparison to 19% with a normal QTc interval. [19] Anti-hypertensive drugs increased the QTc interval, but were not an independent predictor of ...
The value is an indication of the time it takes for a ventricle from the beginning of a contraction to the end of relaxation. The value for a normal QT interval is similar in males and females from birth up to adolescence. During infancy, a normal QTc is defined as 400 ± 20 milliseconds. Before puberty, the 99th percentile of QTc values is 460 ...
The QTc is less than 450 ms in 95% of normal males, and less than 460 ms in 95% of normal females. Romano–Ward syndrome is suggested if the QTc is longer than these cutoffs. However, as 5% of normal people also fall into this category, some suggest cutoffs of 470 and 480 ms for males and females respectively, corresponding with the 99th ...
Long QT syndrome, or LQTS, is when somebody’s QT interval is longer than normal, which should typically be less than half of a cardiac cycle. In fact, for a heart rate of 60 beats per minute, the QT interval’s generally considered to be abnormally long when it’s greater than 440 milliseconds in males or 460 milliseconds in females.
The cardiac features of JLNS can be diagnosed by measuring the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). The QTc is less than 450 ms in 95% of normal males, and less than 460 ms in 95% of normal females. In those with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome the QTc is typically greater than 500 ms. [8]

Specific changes, such as a shortened QT interval and prolonged PR interval, may be seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG). [2] Treatment may include intravenous fluids, furosemide, calcitonin, intravenous bisphosphonate, in addition to treating the underlying cause. [1] [2] The evidence for furosemide use, however, is poor. [1]
The Arizona Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics (AZCERT) maintains the CredibleMeds database. Founded in 2000 at the University of Arizona as part of a network of 14 federally-funded CERTs, [9] AZCERT became a separate non-profit corporation in 2012 funded by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), research grants, and charitable contributions.
