متن کاملMethadone-induced Torsades de pointes.
Torsades de pointes is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that can quickly evolve into ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. This arrhythmia often occurs secondary to medication- induced cardiac repolarization dysfunction with resultant prolonged QTc interval on ECG. Numerous medications can predispose patients to this deadly tachycardia. We report a case of methadone-induced Torsades d...
متن کاملTorsades de pointes: unanswered questions.
Torsade de pointes (Tdp) is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in which the axis of the QRS complex changes direction after a certain number of complexes as if the complex rotated around the baseline. Tdp is usually associated with QT prolongation, and dispersion of ventricular repolarlization (DR). Experimental models of tdp are usually associated with induction of early after depolari...
متن کاملTorsades de pointes: Should ECG be taken from all patients before surgery? A case report
Torsades de pointes is a rare but potentially lethal arrhythmia which mainly occurs in the setting of a prolonged QT interval. ECG is a reliable tool to detect such abnormalities, routinely taken from all patients over 40 who undergo surgery. We describe the case of a 35-year-old woman with torsades de points arrhythmia after hysterectomy surgery. Most likely, our patients had long QT syndro...
