Prolonged QT interval
8 Answers
Got to have an ECG tomorrow because I'm on Quetiapine and it mentions somewhere that Q may cause a prolonged QT interval. Had a quick look on the web and I've terrified myself when I read what this means.
I assuming that all will be ok because I would have had signs and symptoms if I had a problem? Am I correct?
