Abstract
When initiating AAD, the change in QTc during VP does not correlate with the change in QTc during NC; thus, the VP QTc is inadequate for monitoring repolarization changes. However, VP JTc correlates well with JTc during NC. When initiating Class III AADs in patients with VP rhythms, the JTc, and not the QTc, interval is the useful marker for assessing repolarization.
