The most commonly used QT correction formula is the Bazett's formula, [5] named after physiologist Henry Cuthbert Bazett (1885–1950), [6] calculating the heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTcB). Bazett's formula is based on observations from a study in 1920.

QT interval variability (QTV) refers to the physiological phenomenon of beat-to-beat fluctuations in QT interval of electrocardiograms. Increased QTV appears to be a marker of arrhythmic and cardiovascular death; it may also play a role for noninvasive assessment of sympathetic nervous system activity. [1]
Schwartz score to aid diagnosis of inherited long QT syndrome. [37] Corrected QT interval (QTc) ≥ 480 ms 3 points QTc defined according to Bazett's correction: 460–470 ms 2 points 450 ms and male gender 1 point Torsades de pointes: 2 points T-wave alternans: 1 point Notched T-waves in at least 3 leads 1 point Low heart rate for age (children)
Say you have a 4-year-old Labrador named Comet — with the new equation, Comet's real "dog age" would be slightly older than 53. The reason for the difference is actually pretty simple.
Short QT syndrome (SQT) is a very rare genetic disease of the electrical system of the heart, and is associated with an increased risk of abnormal heart rhythms and sudden cardiac death. [1]
One common nomenclature uses "human years" to represent a strict calendar basis (365 days) and a "dog year" to be the equivalent portion of a dog's lifetime, as a calendar year would be for a human being. Under this system, a 6-year-old dog would be described as having an age of 6 human years or 40–50 (depending on the breed) dog years.
If the problem is a simple factor deficiency, mixing the patient plasma 1:1 with plasma that contains 100% of the normal factor level results in a level ≥50% in the mixture (say the patient has an activity of 0%; the average of 100% + 0% = 50%). [3] The PT or PTT will be normal (the mixing study shows correction).
