#The QT interval starts at the beginning of the QRS interval and ends where the tangent and baseline cross.
#The QT interval starts at the beginning of the QRS interval and ends where the tangent and baseline cross.
#If the QRS duration exceeds 120ms the amount surpassing 120ms should be deducted from the QT interval (i.e. QT=QT-(QRS width-120ms) )
