The Short QTc Is a Marker for the Development of Atrial Flutter and Atrial Fibrillation.

In conclusion, a short QT interval can be readily identified based on the first percentile of the new QTc formula. A short QTc is an important marker for the development of atrial arrhythmias, including atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation, with the former predominating. It should be part of patient assessment and warrants consideration to develop strategies for detection and prevention of atrial arrhythmias. PMID: 33224525 [PubMed]
