A fib reading

[Martin32]

Does the QT c numbers go up or stay the same when you have a ECG and have a fib many thanks

Hi Martin.

I should think it would stay the same having an ECG ? Normal values for the QTc range from 350 to 450 ms for adult men - I'm a not a medic but I'm not sure if an ECG would effect it.

Could be wrong but that's my take.

I don't know what QTc means sorry !

Nor do I, I thought there was a place on here where it said what these things meant.

[wilsond in reply to paolina]

Yes ,me too!

A wider than usual QTc interval has been detected both on a Kardia 6L and an ECG at my doctor's surgery. I was told that I didn't need to be concerned about this as it was on account of taking Sotalol; an ECG doesn't itself affect it.
