Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4147910-A4147910, November 12, 2024. Background:Individuals with 22q11 deletion syndrome have a mutation in the TBX1 gene which is associated with the formation of cardiac outflow tracts. A single study has shown this translates to humans with 22q11 and structurally normal hearts.

Background and Formulas : QT interval prolongation is widely used as an important risk factor for progression to torsades de pointes (TdP) and possible subsequent death. In addition, the QT can be volatile especially in ill hospitalized patients and some recommend continuous monitoring of the QTc for those at high risk.
