Figure 1 QT and corrected QT (QTc) changes on standing. Example of QT interval and corrected QT (QTc using Bazett formula) changes during the standing test in a patient with no change in QT interval on standing but an increase in QTc resulting from an increase in heart rate. (A) Baseline. (B) On standing at maximal tachycardia. (C) Five minutes into recovery.

Figure 3 Corrected QT (QTc) changes on standing according to heart rate. (A) QTc changes on standing according to the heart rate response and (B) baseline QTc. (A) The magnitude of QTc change (Δ QTc) was positively correlated with heart rate increase, meaning that a patient with an important heart rate increase exhibited a greater change in QTc on standing. (B) The Δ QTc had a weak negative correlation with baseline QTc, meaning that a patient with a higher baseline QTc had less increase in QTc on standing.

Figure 4 QT and corrected QT (QTc) changes on standing comparing patients with LQTS and healthy controls. (A) QT change measurements during the standing test from baseline to recovery. (B) QTc change measurements during the standing test from baseline to recovery. HR, heart rate.
