Abstract
In a retrospective and prospective analysis of electrocardiograms, we noted that the JT interval is not independent of the ventricular depol arization pattern, but is paradoxically shorter for wider QRS morpholo gies Such an affect on the JT interval must be accounted for if it is to be used as an accurate means of following the duration of ventricul ar repolarization for clinical purposes, such as guidance of drug admi nistration.
