February 4, 2010 (Washington, DC) — A profoundly simple test that takes advantage of the brief heart-rate acceleration that occurs when one stands up, especially if it's done quickly, could ...

As more consumer-facing devices add features to measure the heart’s electrical activity, companies are looking for new ways to turn this data into valuable health information. AliveCor, a startup that ...

Uncertainty remains regarding the value of heart-rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation on electrocardiogram for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly among Asian populations.

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and prolonged QT interval at ECG (QTc) are common in both obesity and arterial hypertension (AH), and are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and ...

Long QT syndrome is a leading cause of sudden death in young persons, with a prevalence exceeding 1 in 2000. It is characterized by prolongation of the QT interval, aberrant T-wave morphologic ...

Baltimore, MD - A large-scale genomic study has identified a new gene associated with abnormal QT intervals. The gene, known as NOS1AP, was not previously known to modulate cardiac repolarization, but ...

There were 252 patients with EKG results included for the analysis; they were given concomitant therapy for median 7 days. This article is written live from ID Week 2017 Annual Meeting in San Diego, ...

Tight Glycemic Control of Little Value Post-Pediatric Heart Op Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, including citalopram, escitalopram, and amitriptyline, are associated with prolonged corrected ...

Objectives The short QT syndrome is a cardiac channelopathy characterised by accelerated repolarisation which manifests as a short QT interval on the ECG. The definition of a short QT interval is ...

Efficacy and Tolerability of Temozolomide in an Alternating Weekly Regimen in Patients With Recurrent Glioma Investigation and utilization of molecularly targeted agents has induced a number of drug ...
