It has been shown in this study from NEJM 1998 and this from Circulation 1991 that in congenital long QT, for every 10 ms increase in the Bazett corrected QTc, there is an approximate 5% increased risk of Torsade de Pointe (TdP) in the long term. The risk is greatest at a Bazett corrected QTc greater than 500 ms.
