QTcB\>480 msec, If the first QTcB reading exceeds 480msec two additional ECGs are to be performed separated at least 5 min apart, then take the average of the three QTcB or readings to determine if the subject satisfies the above criteria. If the average QYcB reading is \>480 msec then the subject is excluded.
