Overview

The causes of shortening of the QT interval can be divided into primary genetic causes (Short QT syndrome types 1-5) and secondary causes such as drugs and electrolyte disturbances like Hypercalcemia and digoxin respectively. A few causes to list are acidosis, altered autonomic tone,Digoxin, hypercalcemia, hyperkalemia, hyperthermia, lanatoside C and rufinamide.
