QT0 (ms) is the intercept of the QT–RR relationship; RR (s) is the interval between successive R waves, α is the individual heart rate correction factor, A (ms) is the amplitude of circadian rhythm, φ (h) is the phase of the cosine function, slope 9ms/concentration) is the linear pharmacodynamic relationship; BSV = between subject variability.
