See below: QTc of 450 msec or longer without electrolyte disturbance such as hypokalemia is generally considered prolonged in adult males. The diagnosis of Long QT syndrome may be supported by associated bradycardia, second degree AV block, multiple PVCs, ventricular tachycardia, or abnormal T-wave morphologies.
