Drug-Induced QT Interval Prolongation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The correct measurement of the QT interval (using correction formulas, preferably Fridericia and Framingham) as well a interpretation causes clinical consequences prolongation is very important in practice. Drug-induced long syndrome (DILQTS) one most common LQTS. In diagnosis management DILQTS, it can be useful to follow three-step rule presented this article: detailed pharmacological anamnesis ECG interpretation; database search confirmatory test.

The drug-induced QT prolongation predisposes to development of torsades de pointes (TdP) ventricular tachycardia and sudden death. The association between specific drug and development of TdP is difficult to document, therefore, QT prolongation is considered as a surrogate marker of the proarrhythmia risk. Most of the drugs prolong QT interval usually by blocking the potassium IKr current or al...

A prolonged QT interval is an important risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. QT prolongation can be caused by drugs. There are multiple risk factors for drug-induced QT prolongation, including genetic variation. QT prolongation is one of the most common reasons for withdrawal of drugs from the market, despite the fact that these drugs may be beneficial for certain p...

P rolongation of the QT interval is a serious electrocardiogram finding because of its association with torsades de pointes and sudden cardiac death. Both congenital and acquired factors can lead to abnormal lengthening of the QT interval. Six types of congenital long QT syndrome (LQT1– LQT6) have been described, each involving mutations in genes encoding potassium or sodium transmembrane chann...
