Abstract
QTc prolongation in PD patients caused by medication is a major modifiable risk factor. A routine ECG should be considered if a PD patient is currently prescribed medication that can prolong the QTc interval. Also consideration should be given to performing this simple test prior to commencing QTc prolonging medication.
