Clarithromycin-Induced Long QT Syndrome: A Case Report
Long QT syndrome develops for a number of reasons. The number of non-antiarrhythmic drugs reported to induce QT interval prolongation with or without torsade de pointes continues to increase. Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic being increasingly used for the treatment of atypical pneumonia. In this paper, we describe a patient who developed long QT prolongation syndrome after receiving cl...
متن کامل[A case of long QT syndrome].
Introduction Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a group of genetically distinct arrhythmogenic disorders resulting in abnormal cardiac sodium and potassium ion channels causing delayed repolarization of the heart. This syndrome can present clinically as syncope, seizures, or sudden cardiac death secondary to its characteristic ventricular arrhythmia of torsades de pointes. The clinical and electrocardi...
متن کاملCongenital long QT syndrome: a case report of LQT2 and LQT13 in a neonate.
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a disorder of ventricular myocardial repolarization characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the electrocardiogram (ECG). At least 12 different genes in patients with congenital LQTS have been described, designated LQT 1 through 12. However, more recently at least 13 types of congenital LQTS have been identified. The neonate, who was born prematurely, was noted to ...
متن کاملPostanesthetic torsade de pointes in a patient with unrecognized long QT syndrome -A case report-
Torsade de pointes (TdP) is a devastating form of polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia associated with corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation. TdP usually terminates spontaneously but frequently recurs and may degenerate to ventricular fibrillation. The present report describes a case of TdP in a patient being transferred to the postanesthetic care unit following an emergency laparoscopic appen...
متن کاملAllelic Complexity in Long QT Syndrome: A Family-Case Study
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is associated with high genetic and allelic heterogeneity. In some cases, more than one genetic variant is identified in the same (compound heterozygosity) or different (digenic heterozygosity) genes, and subjects with multiple pathogenic mutations may have a more severe disease. Standard-of-care clinical genetic testing for this and other arrhythmia susceptib...
