QTcF Calculator calculator can be used to correct the QT interval for heart rate differences using the Bazett formula.
Learn how to use the QTcF Calculator calculator and its working principles
The QTcF calculator is used to correct the QT interval for differences in heart rate. This is important because a longer QT interval can indicate a higher risk of arrhythmias. To use the calculator:
The Bazett formula is used to correct the QT interval:
QTcF = QT / √RR interval
Where QT is the QT interval and RR interval is calculated as 60 divided by the heart rate.
A corrected QT interval (QTcF) that is prolonged may indicate an increased risk of arrhythmias. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for interpretation and management of QT interval prolongation.
