Interactive Corrected QT Interval (QTc) calculator using Bazett's formula. Requires the calculator gadget.

Usage: {{QTc Calculator}}

Corrected QT Interval (QTc)

Corrected QT Interval (QTc)
Parameter Value
QT Interval (ms)
Heart Rate (bpm)
RR Interval (ms) — auto-calculated from HR ms
Results
QTc (Bazett's) — QT / √(RR in sec) ms
QTc (Fridericia) — QT / ∛(RR in sec) ms
Interpretation (Bazett's QTc)
<440 ms Normal QTc for males.
<460 ms Normal QTc for females.
440–500 ms Borderline/Prolonged — Monitor closely. Review medications for QT-prolonging drugs.
>500 ms Significantly prolonged — High risk for Torsades de Pointes. Discontinue offending agents. Check Mg²⁺/K⁺/Ca²⁺.
