Although the lines are faint, the QT interval is at least 3 big boxes (15 small boxes) which is 0.60 sec. There are a number of causes for a prolonged QT interval (many drugs, electrolyte imbalance, CNS disease, etc.) The patient with a prolonged QT is at increased risk for sudden death, commonly from malignant ventricular arrhythmias such as Torsade-de-pointes.
