The JT Interval and Pro-Arrhythmic Risk
Measured from the J-point to the end of the T-wave, the JT interval represents the time for ventricular repolarization in the setting of ventricular conduction abnormalities.
JTc=QTc-QRS
When do you use the JT Interval?
- Right Bundle Branch Block
- Left Bundle Branch Block
- Ventricular Pacing
Prolonged JT interval was a stronger risk factor for mortality than prolonged QT interval in patients with QRS β₯120 ms
