Definition
QT
QT interval in milliseconds. The QT interval is the
time between the beginning of the Q wave and the
end of the Twave.
QTc
QTc represents the heart rate corrected QT interval.
By default, the Information Center uses the Bazett
correction formula to correct the QT interval for
heart rate. Your system, however, may be set up to
use the Fridericia correction formula.
dQTc
The difference between the current QTc value and
the QTc baseline value.
QT-HR
The heart rate used to calculate QTc
