Correct a measured QT interval for heart rate using Bazett’s equation.
| Input | What it means |
|---|---|
| Heart rate/pulse | Use the observed finding or laboratory value for this criterion, following the definition shown in the form. |
| QT interval | Use the observed finding or laboratory value for this criterion, following the definition shown in the form. |
At 60 bpm, RR=1 second, so a QT of 400 ms gives QTc=400 ms.
Use the calculation to make the method and its inputs easier to check with a healthcare professional. Its meaning depends on the clinical setting and on whether the underlying method is appropriate for that person.
No. It describes a calculation or score from the supplied information. A qualified clinician must check the measurements, the method’s applicability and the wider clinical picture.
Use the units specified in the form and select a conversion only where the page provides one. Different substances need different conversion factors; a mismatch can produce a plausible but incorrect result.
