Q-T interval prolongation in cirrhosis: Relationship and severity
Background: Cirrhosis as the final stage of progressive fibrosis of liver can affect other organs such as lungs, kidneys and heart. "Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy" involves the electrophysiological abnormalities such as QT interval prolongation. We assessed correlation between corrected QT interval prolongation and severity of cirrhosis based on Child Classification in each ECG lead. ...
متن کاملProlongation of the QTc interval in patients with cirrhosis
and in many congenital and acquired conditions as cardiac disease, electrolyte abnormalities, and many commonly used drugs. Additionally, acquired prolongation of QT interval has been documented in alcoholic liver disease, cirrhosis and liver failure. Liver transplantation in the latter group has been shown to reverse this anomaly. The QT prolongation was found to be independent of the etiology...
متن کاملKetamine-induced QTc interval prolongation
Sir, Ketamine is a noncompetitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. It is widely used as a dissociative anesthetic and is also used as an adjunct in pain management, particularly in opioid-tolerant patients. It blocks calcium channels and depresses sodium channel function as well as having anticholinergic effects. It inhibits the re-uptake of the catecholamines and may hav...
متن کاملSevoflurane causes greater QTc interval prolongation in chronically hyperglycemic patients than in normoglycemic patients
QTc interval prolongation is a serious diabetic complication and increases mortality rate. Hyperglycemia inhibits the rapid component of delayed rectifier potassium channel currents (Ikr) and prolongs the QTc interval on electrocardiograms. Sevoflurane also inhibits the Ikr and causes QTc interval prolongation. In fact, torsade de pointes occurred in a patient with poorly controlled diabetes me...
متن کاملSevoflurane causes greater QTc interval prolongation in elderly patients than in younger patients.
BACKGROUND Sevoflurane and droperidol prolong the QT interval, and advancing age is not only associated with a prolongation of the QT interval but is also a risk factor for drug-induced QT interval prolongation. In this study, we compared the effect of sevoflurane and droperidol on the corrected QT (QTc) interval and the dispersion of ventricular repolarization (time interval from the peak to t...
