Idiopathic Intractable Diarrhoea Leading to Torsade de Pointes
An 81-year-old lady was admitted to our hospital with a 3-year history of noninfective diarrhoea and recurrent syncopal events over the last 3 months. Her initial electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed trigeminy and prolonged QTc interval. She had a structurally normal heart with no coronary artery disease. Investigations revealed low potassium at 3.0 mmol/L. Sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy suggested a...
متن کاملSotalol-induced torsade de pointes.
A case of sotalol-induced polymorphous ventricular tachycardia (torsade de pointes) is presented. The patient had moderately prolonged Q-T interval before medication with sotalol with further prolongation after application of this drug. Electrophysiological study during rechallenge with sotalol demonstrated a uniform ventricular tachycardia with a somewhat polymorphous onset; whether or not thi...
متن کاملDrug-induced torsade de pointes.
A73-year-old man with mild coronary artery disease and a dilated cardiomyopathy presented to the emergency room with a hemodynamically stable wide-QRS tachycardia. His 12-lead ECG revealed episodes of ventriculoatrial block, and a diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia (VT) was made (Figure 1). Intravenous procainamide restored sinus rhythm. Tachycardia recurred, and a second bolus of intravenous...
متن کاملTorsade de pointes induced by N-acetylprocainamide.
N-Acetylprocainamide (NAPA), a class III antiarrhythmic drug, caused torsade de pointes in a 72 year old woman who had this arrhythmia on two previous occasions while being treated with quinidine and disopyramide. Initial evaluation with an intravenous infusion of NAPA indicated a favorable antiarrhythmic response. The QTC interval was prolonged, but the 2.4 ms/microgram per ml incremental QTC ...
متن کاملMoxifloxacin-induced torsade de pointes
Torsade de pointes (TdP) is increasingly recognized as a complication of drug therapy. The most common cause of drug-induced QT prolongation is inhibition of the rapidly activating component of the delayed potassium current (IKr). Moxifloxacin, a widely used fluoroquinolone, is a weak IKr inhibitor and has been associated with QT prolongation. We report a case of marked QT prolongation (618 ms)...
