متن کاملTorsade De Pointes, an atypical ventricular tachycardia.
When defining a 'new' arrhythmia it is reasonable electrocardiography or arrhythmias. If, however, to suppose that it may indeed have been recognized we turn to the French literature for authoritative many years previously. This applies to the disorder reviews (Brochier, Motte, and Fauchier, 1972; now called torsade de pointes, whose features have Slama et al., 1973; Puech, 1974), apparently ob...
متن کاملShort-Coupled Variant of "Torsades de Pointes" and Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia
DOI: 10.5935/abc.20140075 Introduction “Torsades de pointes” (TdP) ventricular tachycardias carry a high risk of sudden death, even when they occur in individuals with a structurally normal heart, in the absence of myocardial ischemia or prolonged QT interval. Leenhardt et al1 described a new syndrome with these characteristics in 1994 that showed a difference in which the TdP were triggered by...
متن کاملAtrio-Ventricular Block-Induced Torsades de Pointes: An Update
Torsades de pointes is a potentially life threatening form of rapid, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Literally meaning “twisting of the points”, torsades de pointes is electrocardiographically characterized by QRS axis undulations over runs of several beats, with a specific twist of the QRS complex around the isoelectric baseline. The definition also requires that an abnormal QT-prolongati...
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...
