NCIt definition : The maximum duration (time) of the QT interval, obtained from a set of measurements
of the QT interval. The QT interval is defined as the time from the beginning of the
QRS complex to the end of the T wave, representing the time it takes for the ventricles
to depolarize and subsequently repolarize. In some cases, the Q wave will be absent,
in which case the QT interval is measured from the beginning of the R wave to the
end of the T wave.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: The maximum duration (time) of the QT interval, obtained from a set of measurements

QRS complex to the end of the T wave, representing the time it takes for the ventricles
to depolarize and subsequently repolarize. In some cases, the Q wave will be absent,
in which case the QT interval is measured from the beginning of the R wave to the
end of the T wave. (NCI);
