BelfastChild: yes I'm aware of short QT syndrome also, this, is charaterized by a QT interval of less than 300ms and usually with a change in P wave morphology peaked ... most important QT interval DOES NOT CHANGE WITH EXCERCISE.
tex8vc: get a stress test they usually use leads (one anterior one posterior) V1 and V5 but it depends on the protocol... as well a calcium level, hypercalcemia also certain drugs can shorten the interval that they most like wont let you fly while taking anyway so rule that out digitalis etc
cause this. again probably nothing
but EKG is sometimes like the boy who cries wolf too often... even the 14 lead
hey at least delta waves indicative preexcitaion, wolff parkinson white syndrome when aberrant conduction pathways are present
are not present
I've said B4 EKG must be used VERY VERY VERY judiciously ... it has a very central purpose in diagnosis, but the results can confound anyone ( (even cardiologist) without further testing... eithoven was on the right track but he created many nervous pilots in the meantime... you know EKG and was invented ONE year after airplanes... it's a conspiracy
