QTc Numbers

So I am looking over my records and it says on one of my old reports my qtc was 394.
I thought qtc was suppose to be below 400. Isnt 394 pushing it?

Thats easy to explain. you were on atrial pacing at rate 60. Then qt and qtc are similar.

ekgs are bewildering to me....when my QT/QTC was 398/473 my HR was 85 - the dr said something about prolonged QT and asked if anyone in my family had LQTS?  I've also had QT/QTC intervals that were the exact same numbers which had doctors scratching their heads saying that's not possible.

too bad I don't have any ekg's where my HR has been high they might be interesting to see - I saw on my latest ICD interrogation I've had some NSVT runs where my HR was 350 - 425 which scared the heck out of me...luckily only 1-3 sec ranges.
