Complete Atrioventricular Block-Induced Torsade de Pointes, Manifested by Epilepsy
Complete atrioventricular (AV) block is frequently regarded as a cause of informed syncopal attacks, even though the escape rhythm is maintained. Torsade de pointes (TdP) may be a significant complication of AV block associated with QT prolongation. Here, we report the case of a 42-year-old female who was referred to our hospital due to recurrent seizure-like attacks while taking anti-convulsan...
متن کاملAtrioventricular block and pause-dependent torsade de pointes
Introduction Determining the level of atrioventricular [AV] block noninvasively can be challenging (ie, AV nodal versus His-Purkinje system). Presyncope or syncope in the setting of AV block is often assumed to be due to progression of the conduction disease. We describe a woman with second-degree AV block with narrow complex QRS with unclear level of AV block. She developed pause-dependent tor...
متن کاملTorsade de pointes following intravenous haloperidol administration in a patient with complete heart block.
Torsade de pointes (TdP) due to QT prolongation is often a drug-induced ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Different classes of drugs including antiarrhythmics, antipsychotics, and antimicrobials may lead to TdP by a patient-specific response altering repolarization. Combinations of other TdP risk factors such as bradycardia, ischemia, or electrolyte abnormalities are usually also present. In this pa...
متن کاملSotalol-induced torsade de pointes.
A case of sotalol-induced polymorphous ventricular tachycardia (torsade de pointes) is presented. The patient had moderately prolonged Q-T interval before medication with sotalol with further prolongation after application of this drug. Electrophysiological study during rechallenge with sotalol demonstrated a uniform ventricular tachycardia with a somewhat polymorphous onset; whether or not thi...
متن کاملDrug-induced torsade de pointes.
A73-year-old man with mild coronary artery disease and a dilated cardiomyopathy presented to the emergency room with a hemodynamically stable wide-QRS tachycardia. His 12-lead ECG revealed episodes of ventriculoatrial block, and a diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia (VT) was made (Figure 1). Intravenous procainamide restored sinus rhythm. Tachycardia recurred, and a second bolus of intravenous...
