Borderline: Your corrected QT interval is borderline, but in medicine, we say, "never buy one of anything." Get several EKGs and see what your QTc is on all of them. Also check your potassium and magnesium since low levels prolong the QTu interval and cause the appearance of a long QT. Finally, if it is prolonged, simply avoid other meds that make it worse. Under 500 ms is mild.

EKG said- PR Interval: 144 QRS Duration: 134 QT/QTc: 412/493 ms Does this mean Im close to having Long QT syndrome? PCP didnt mention anything. Routine yearly EKG due to RBBB and palps for years. No significant changes stated. Thanks?
I had a 48 hour holter to make sure my PVCS were just benign PVCS, and also an exercise stress ecg. Do the doctors naturally check the maximum QTC as well to look for long qt?
