    Attention COACH STUDY participants:

    The principal investigators of the study request that you use the official version of the modified score here.

    Corrected QT Interval (QTc)

    Corrects the QT interval for heart rate extremes (choose from Bazett, Fridericia, Framingham, Hodges, or Rautaharju formulas).
    When to Use
    Why Use
    • Patients with syncope.
    • Patients receiving multiple QT-prolonging medicines.
    • A prolonged QT interval is associated with an increased risk of torsade de pointes.
    • The QT shortens at faster heart rates; this calculator corrects the QT to the QT at a heart rate of 60.
    • The QT lengthens at slower heart rates; this calculator corrects the QT to the QT at a heart rate of 60.
