taipei817 Forum Junior Topics: 2 Posts: 81	Mar 05, 2008 - 5:17 PM       #5 QT interval also inversely related to heart rate
taipei817 Forum Junior Topics: 2 Posts: 81	Mar 05, 2008 - 5:18 PM       #6 but it has nothing to do with the original question... (just found out, sorry!)
arlete Forum Junior Topics: 60 Posts: 4208	Mar 05, 2008 - 6:27 PM       #7 Yes, there are a few formulas to correct QT according to the heart rate. The easiest to remember is: QT divided by square root of RR interval.

icarus Forum Junior Topics: 57 Posts: 832	Jun 24, 2009 - 4:11 PM       #11 yes, with Neuro Deafness, its called Long QT syndrome... Its also associated with Sudden Cardiac Death, and the evil Shark wave on the ECG... Brugada Syndrome is another name for it... In the Literature, Long QT syndrome was associated with nightmares, and the crushing chest feeling one might have during it...Its the Incubus or Succubus of medicine!

arlete Forum Junior Topics: 60 Posts: 4208	Jun 25, 2009 - 5:30 AM       #13 Brugada syndrome and long QT syndrome are different diseases.
icarus Forum Junior Topics: 57 Posts: 832	Jun 25, 2009 - 6:44 AM       #14 I understand, what I was saying, is that in Brugada Syndrome you also have QT prolongation
arlete Forum Junior Topics: 60 Posts: 4208	Jun 26, 2009 - 5:25 AM       #15 Oh, OK. Sorry I missunderstood.
