Key takeaways

  • Bazett is common but often overcorrects at faster heart rates.
  • Fridericia and Framingham are useful comparison formulas when the heart rate is outside normal resting ranges.
  • Marked QT prolongation is a red flag, not a diagnosis—always interpret with drugs, electrolytes, and rhythm context.
