Abstract
Systems and methods for ambulatory detection of Q wave-to-T wave (QT) interval prolongation are discussed. A medical-device system comprises a controller circuit and a user interface device. The controller circuit includes a long QT syndrome (LQTS) detector that measures a QT interval from a subcutaneous cardiac signal sensed from a patient using implantable electrodes, and detects an indication of QT prolongation using the measured QT time interval and a programmable threshold received as a user input from the user interface. The control circuit can adjust device operation based on the detected indication of QT prolongation. An output unit can generate a programmable alert of the QT prolongation corresponding to the user input of the programmable threshold.
