Key result
Correct measurement of the QT interval using the tangent method and heart rate correction, along with multimodal risk stratification and management, is essential for patients with QT prolongation.
Why the study?
Correct measurement of the QT interval and interpretation of the causes and clinical consequences of QT prolongation can be difficult even for trained internists and cardiologists.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the correct measurement of the QT interval, causes of its prolongation, and the multimodal management of long QT syndrome.

Supports precise QT assessment in practice; leaves open prospective validation of multimodal strategies.
Castiglione et al. (2020) conducted a review in QT prolongation and long QT syndrome (LQTS). Correct measurement of the QT interval using the tangent method and heart rate correction, along with multimodal risk stratification and management, is essential for patients with QT prolongation.
