[[File:QTeyeballing. | [[File:QTeyeballing.png|thumb|400px|The eyeballing method to estimate QT prolongation. If the QT interval ends before the imaginary boundary halfway two QRS complexes, the QTc is probably normal. If the QTc reaches beyond the halfway line, the QTc is probably prolonged. This method is only 'valid' in registrations with normal (60-100/min) heart rates.]] | ||
