Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The QTc interval prolongation is not a perfect surrogate marker of the presence of an increased risk for arrhythmic events. In the search for alternative markers, we investigated the T-amplitude and QT interval adaptation to heart rate (HR) in patients with the congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) and individuals with sotalol-induced QT prolongation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Our investigation is based on...
