Figure 4 Effect of the shape of the descending part of the T wave on the QT interval measured with a tangent method. The two hypothetical T waves have a common offset (vertical dashed line), but significantly different shape of the descending part. As a result, a tangent to the steepest point may significantly underestimate (top panel) or overestimate (bottom panel) the T wave offset.
