About

    QTc prolongation is a medical condition characterized by a lengthening of the QT interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG). This prolongation can be a risk factor for developing potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, such as Torsades de Pointes. Research in this area often focuses on identifying medications, genetic factors, and other risk factors that can contribute to QTc prolongation, as well as developing strategies for monitoring and managing this condition to prevent adverse outcomes. Additionally, studies may explore the potential impact of QTc prolongation on various patient populations, such as those with certain medical conditions or undergoing specific medical treatments.
