Improved QTcF diagnostic using tele-cardiology
Background: Numerous anti-cancer drugs can lead to long QT syndrome as a cardiotoxic side effect, which can end in sudden death. Measurement of the QTcF (corrected QT using Fridericia) needs timely support of a cardiologist. The idea of the presented solution was to replace the current way of interaction by a single-lead ECG recorded at the cancer center and send it to a tele-cardiologist for immediate diagnosis (named QTc Tracker).
