WHAT ARE PROLOGED QT INTERVALS?


ECG measurement QT intervals are measured on a heart electrocardiogram (ECG). They measure "repolarization". Longer QT intervals may be associated with arrhythmias (irregular heart beats) such as torsades de pointes or ventricular tachycardia (VT). There are also inherited disorders that are associated with prolong QT intervals.
