However, the QTc maybe misleadingly prolonged when QRS duration is 120 ms, because increased QRS duration (QRSd) contributes to QT interval prolongation. The rate- corrected JT interval (JTc)...

1.The ECG presented in the figure demonstrates the characteristic features of sodium channel blockade with a markedly...
