The definition of the short QT syndrome (SQTS) is based on QT duration, but thorough QT- and T-wave evaluation has not been performed to date. To evaluate the influence of QT rate-correction formulas in SQTS diagnosis, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded in 27 subjects from a single family with SQTS. Based on QT duration corrected by Bazett formula (QTc), 4 men were considered to have SQTS (QTc...
