Corrected QT Interval (QTc)

QT:

 

QTc Bazett[1]:
QTc Fredericia[2]:
QTc Framingham[3]
QTc Hodges[4]:

 

Computational notes

When you enter QT or RR in millimeters, it is assumed that the ECG is recorded at a speed of 25mm/sec.

With QT expressed in seconds, and Heart Rate (HR) in beats per minute:

RR interval (sec) = 60 / HR.
