Abstract
QT interval in an electrocardiogram (ECG) is interpreted after correction (QTc) by various formulas. This study aimed to compare the QTcs calculated by nine formulas. Sinus rhythm ECG reports of 1140 anonymous subjects showed uncorrected QT interval of 388.49 ± 42.74 ms. The QTc calculated by Bazett (443.96 ± 57.58 ms), Fridericia (424.37 ± 50.1 ms), Dmitrienko (433.59 ± 53.37 ms), Framingham (422.59 ± 45.55 ms), Schlamowitz (433.89 ± 48.05 ms), Hodges (421.6 ± 46.4 ms), Ashman (434.33 ± 54.05 ms), Rautaharju (427.75 ± 47.4 ms), and Sarma (429.22 ± 48.67 ms) showed a significant difference F (8, 10251) = 22.78 p < 0.0001. Hence, ECG should contain the formula for proper reporting and ease of interpretation by clinicians.
期刊介绍：
Indian Heart Journal (IHJ) is the official peer-reviewed open access journal of Cardiological Society of India and accepts articles for publication from across the globe. The journal aims to promote high quality research and serve as a platform for dissemination of scientific information in cardiology with particular focus on South Asia. The journal aims to publish cutting edge research in the field of clinical as well as non-clinical cardiology - including cardiovascular medicine and surgery. Some of the topics covered are Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Valvular Heart Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension and Infective Endocarditis. IHJ open access invites original research articles, research briefs, perspective, case reports, case vignette, cardiovascular images, cardiovascular graphics, research letters, correspondence, reader forum, and interesting photographs, for publication. IHJ open access also publishes theme-based special issues and abstracts of papers presented at the annual conference of the Cardiological Society of India.
