Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

Basic QT-interval parameters have been determined for a group of healthy individuals, including the QT dispersion QTD, for which automatic and manual measurement methods have been used, and these data are used as the informative parameters for cardiac electrical activity. The QT dispersion paradox is that the more accurately one measures the length of the QT interval, the less informative is the QTD index.
