Question 5

qtc interval 483. is this serious?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Your QTc is on the upper end of normal range, &lt; 500 ms. The QT or QTc changes based on your heart rate and other factors. Some medications can make the QT longer (some antibiotics, some psychiatric medications, some heart medications, as well as others) so it is important that you talk to your doctor about it to make sure you don't take any of these. Also discuss family history of heart attacks.

Question 6

is having short pr interval serious?

Accepted Answer

Can be a problem: The pr interval refers to a measurement in an ekg of how long it takes the pacemaker in the top part of the heart (the atria) to reach the bottom parts (the ventricles). The normal pacemaker is the sinus node, and it should take a certain amount of time to travel from point a to b. If too fast, a shortcut likely exists called an accessory pathway(wpw).These can cause palpitations and other symptoms.
