BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sudden cardiac death is one of the leading causes of death in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). It has been proposed that a prolonged QT interval is associated with sudden cardiac death in several neurological diseases, including multiple system atrophy, idiopathic Parkinson's disease, and diabetic autonomic neuropathy. However, analyses of the corrected QT (...
متن کاملDose-Dependent Effects of Methadone on QT interval in Patients under Methadone Maintenance Treatment
Background: The role of methadone in QTc prolongation, Torsades de Pointes (TdP) arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death has been debated. Because of widespread use of methadone in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) centers, we aimed to study dose-related effects of methadone on QTc prolongation. Methods: In a comparative observational study, 90 patients who were under MMT were evaluated. Patien...

Copyright © 2004 Massachusetts Medical Society. n the past decade, the single most common cause of the withdrawal or restriction of the use of drugs that have already been marketed has been the prolongation of the QT interval associated with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or torsade de pointes (Fig. 1), which can be fatal. 1 Nine structurally unrelated drugs...
