[Corrected QT interval and corrected QT interval dispersion is worthwhile when interpreted with other repolarization measurements].
We read the article entitled ‘‘The effect of esmolol on corrected-QT interval, corrected-QT interval dispersion changes seen during anesthesia induction in hypertensive patients taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor’’ by Ceker et al. with interest.1 The authors investigated the effects of esmolol on the hemodynamic, correctedQT (QTc) interval and corrected-QT interval dispersion (QT...
متن کاملChanges in the corrected QT interval and corrected QT dispersion during haemodialysis.
The link between increased QT dispersion and cardiac death in subjects with diabetes and arterial disease is well recognised. Corrected QT dispersion was studied in subjects with end stage renal failure on haemodialysis. Thirty one stable, chronic subjects on haemodialysis had 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) taken before and after a single haemodialysis session. The QT interval was measured m...
متن کاملSevere QT interval prolongation associated with moxifloxacin: a case report
INTRODUCTION The QT interval prolongation is an adverse effect associated with moxifloxacin. This adverse effect can lead to potentially life-threatening arrhythmias such as Torsades de pointes. We describe a case of severe QT interval prolongation associated with moxifloxacin which may cause the development of Torsades de pointes. There have been no reported case of severe corrected QT interva...
متن کاملTafenoquine at therapeutic concentrations does not prolong fridericia-corrected QT interval in healthy subjects
Tafenoquine is being developed for relapse prevention in Plasmodium vivax malaria. This Phase I, single-blind, randomized, placebo- and active-controlled parallel group study investigated whether tafenoquine at supratherapeutic and therapeutic concentrations prolonged cardiac repolarization in healthy volunteers. Subjects aged 18-65 years were randomized to one of five treatment groups (n = 52 ...
متن کاملThe QT and corrected QT interval in recovery after exercise in children.
BACKGROUND Prolongation of the QT interval after exercise can be used to help diagnose long-QT syndrome, especially when the resting QT interval is borderline. The aim of this study was to determine the normal ranges for QT and corrected QT in the recovery phase after exercise in children. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety-four volunteer boys and girls aged 8 to < 17 years without any history of hea...
