ECG - QU

Postby Calico » Mon May 19, 2014 11:58 am

Buna ziua,

Exista vreun student/rezident/specialist care imi poate spune valorile de normalitate ale intervalului QU pe ECG? Sau unde sa le caut rapid.
Multumesc.

The interval from the end of T to the apex of U was practically independent of the heart rate and sex; it averaged 0.10 second. The Q-aU interval expected for a certain heart rate can be easily determined, therefore, by adding 0.10 second to the Q-T interval expected for this rate. The interval from the apex to the end of U was influenced by the heart rate more than any other interval, but as the determination of the end of U especially at high heart rates was difficult, this observation should be interpreted with caution.
(The duration of the Q-U interval and its components in electrocardiograms of normal persons; Eugene Lepeschkin, M.D., Borys Surawicz, M.D.; American Heart Journal Volume 46, Issue 1, July 1953, Pages 9–20)

aha, mersi
doar ca nu e vorba de persoane normale si nici de Q-aU, ci de QU
Ma intereseaza daca exista un interval de normalitate pt QU corectat cu frecventa, evident
cum exista pt QT corectat

I think you can use Bazett's formula on the QU interval in the same way as it is used for getting the QTc interval.
(Bazett's Formula = QT Interval / √ (RR interval), where RR Interval = 60/HR).
