Methods and apparatus for determining a patient specific QT-RR curve. One embodiment of a method in accordance with the technology comprises providing electrophysiological data for a specific patient. The method can further include: (a) determining QT durations and RR values for a plurality of heart beats of the specific patient from the electrophysiological data; (b) ascertaining effective RR intervals for the plurality of heart beats by weight-averaging the RR values according to the equation Effective RRi=C×Effective RRi−1+(1−C)×[RRweighted], where C is a number between 0 and 1, and where RRweighted is based on an observed RRi value and a trend predicted RR value; and (d) finding a value Cf defined by a value of C where a curve fitted to the QT durations and the ascertained effective RR intervals is within a desired standard deviation.
