Ketamine-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 کاملProlongation of the QTc interval predicts appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapies in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine factors predicting appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in a large cohort of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). BACKGROUND HCM is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in those age ≤35 years. ICD therapy is offered to select patients at increased risk for sudden cardiac death. Currently, there are no clini...
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 کاملImpact of ABCB1 allelic variants on QTc interval prolongation.
PURPOSE Although the ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) drug transporter is a constituent of several blood-tissue barriers (i.e., blood-brain and blood-nerve), its participation in a putative blood-heart barrier has been poorly explored. ABCB1 could decrease the intracardiac concentrations of drugs that cause QT prolongation and cardiotoxicity. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN ABCB1-related romidepsin transport kinet...
متن کاملFactors influencing QTc interval prolongation during kidney transplantation.
BACKGROUND During renal transplantation, factors causing disturbances of the repolarization process, defined by the QT interval, may lead to ventricular arrhythmias. The aim of this study was to determine a relationship between QT interval prolongation and metabolic homoeostasis, and durations of cold ischemia time (CIT) and warm ischemia time (WIT) during renal transplantation. MATERIAL/METH...
