How to Calculate QTC?

Measure the QT interval from the start of the Q wave to the end of the T wave

Measure the RR interval between two consecutive R waves

Use Bazett’s formula: QTc = QT / √RR

Use QT in seconds and RR in seconds

Convert the result to milliseconds if needed

Alternative formulas:

Fridericia: QTc = QT / ∛RR

Framingham: QTc = QT + 0.154 × (1 − RR)

Hodges: QTc = QT + 1.75 × (heart rate − 60)

Compare the QTc value with standard reference ranges
