Short QT syndrome is an inheritable primary electrical disease of the heart that was discovered in 1999. The disorder is characterized by an abnormally short QT interval (<300 ms) and a propensity to ...

QT interval prolongation due to disorders of ventricular repolarization results in long QT syndrome (LQTS), which has been extensively investigated. In contrast, little is known about QT interval ...

This page lists all known medications that could potentially lead to 'Electrocardiogram QT shortened' as a side effect. It's important to note that mild side effects are quite common with medications.

A cardiologist at Saint Louis University School of Medicine was the first to identify a new hereditary condition that increases the risk of sudden cardiac death. The risk factor - a dramatic, short ...

Baltimore, MD - A large-scale genomic study has identified a new gene associated with abnormal QT intervals. The gene, known as NOS1AP, was not previously known to modulate cardiac repolarization, but ...

A heart arrhythmia is when your heart beats too fast, too slow, or out of sync. Some arrhythmias can be genetic. A genetic arrhythmia happens when one or both of your parents pass down a gene change ...

Using a new genomic strategy that has the power to survey the entire human genome and identify genes with common variants that contribute to complex diseases, researchers at Johns Hopkins, together ...

Findings in Nature Genetics support the idea that balance between sodium and potassium are essential to the heart. An international group of scientists identified 10 genes connected to changes in QT ...

February 4, 2010 (Washington, DC) — A profoundly simple test that takes advantage of the brief heart-rate acceleration that occurs when one stands up, especially if it's done quickly, could ...

Aim To determine factors affecting the QT interval in athletes and find an improved means of QT correction (QTc) Method Data was gathered from the CAYA (Cardiovascular Assessment in Young Athletes) ...

ST. LOUIS---A cardiologist at Saint Louis University School of Medicine was the first to identify a new hereditary condition that increases the risk of sudden cardiac death. The risk factor - a ...
