متن کامل[Torsades de pointes associated with rupatadine].
Torsades de pointes (TdP) tachycardia is a rare polymorphic ventricular tachycardia characterized by short, self-limiting runs, and a prolonged QT interval, which can deteriorate into persistent ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. This arrhythmia is gaining importance, since it is known to be related to commonly prescribed drugs and electrolyte abnormalities. Most of the drugs that induc...
متن کاملMethadone-induced Torsades de pointes.
Torsades de pointes is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that can quickly evolve into ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. This arrhythmia often occurs secondary to medication- induced cardiac repolarization dysfunction with resultant prolonged QTc interval on ECG. Numerous medications can predispose patients to this deadly tachycardia. We report a case of methadone-induced Torsades d...
متن کاملTorsades de pointes: unanswered questions.
Torsade de pointes (Tdp) is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in which the axis of the QRS complex changes direction after a certain number of complexes as if the complex rotated around the baseline. Tdp is usually associated with QT prolongation, and dispersion of ventricular repolarlization (DR). Experimental models of tdp are usually associated with induction of early after depolari...
متن کاملClarithromycin associated with torsades de pointes.
Two cases of QT prolongation and torsades de pointes (TdP) are presented. The patients had been taking clarithromycin (400 mg/day) for respiratory disease. Although erythromycin is reportedly associated with TdP, this is the first report of clarithromycin associated with TdP in the absence of other drugs already known to produce QT prolongation.
