Screening of 1-Month-Old Infants With Prolonged QT Interval and Its Cutoff Value
The prevalence of ECG-determined pQTc is approximately 1 : 1,000. An abrupt increase in QTc(B) values occurs in infants at high risk, mostly at 6-11 weeks after birth. A cutoff QTc(B) value ≥0.45 may be appropriate for 1-month-old screening in this population.
