Drug-induced long QT syndrome and Torsade de Pointes.
Several medications, including drugs prescribed for noncardiac indications, have been associated with a prolongation of the QT interval on the surface electrocardiogram. Under certain circumstances, this clinical manifestation may reflect an increased risk for patients presenting with a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia known as torsade de pointes. Drugs that prolong the QT interval belong to...
متن کاملIonic, molecular, and cellular bases of QT-interval prolongation and torsade de pointes.
Torsade de pointes (TdP) is a life-threatening arrhythmia that develops as a consequence of a reduction in the repolarization reserve of cardiac cells leading to amplification of electrical heterogeneities in the ventricular myocardium as well as to the development of early after depolarization-induced triggered activity. Electrical heterogeneities within the ventricles are due to differences i...

متن کاملCocaine induced prolongation of the QT interval.
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...
