Methadone-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...

Torsade de pointes (Tdp) is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in which the axis of the QRS complex changes direction after a certain number of complexes as if the complex rotated around the baseline. Tdp is usually associated with QT prolongation, and dispersion of ventricular repolarlization (DR). Experimental models of tdp are usually associated with induction of early after depolari...

A 67 year old woman with a history of chronic atrial fibrillation presented with asthma cardiale. She took no medication and there was no family history of long QT syndrome. She was treated with furosemide, nitroprusside, acenocoumarol, and digoxin. Two days later excessively prolonged RR intervals, which were terminated by escape beats with a right bundle branch block morphology, suggested imp...

BACKGROUND Several frequently used antibiotics are associated with an arrhythmia called "torsades de pointes" (TdP). This potentially fatal arrhythmia is considered unpredictable. METHODS In order to investigate the prevalence of risk factors for TdP prior to initiation of antibiotic therapy, we conducted a literature search for all published reports on TdP induced by antibiotics and we asked...

Torsades de pointes (TdP) tachycardia is a rare polymorphic ventricular tachycardia characterized by short, self-limiting runs, and a prolonged QT interval, which can deteriorate into persistent ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. This arrhythmia is gaining importance, since it is known to be related to commonly prescribed drugs and electrolyte abnormalities. Most of the drugs that induc...
full textClarithromycin associated with torsades de pointes.
Two cases of QT prolongation and torsades de pointes (TdP) are presented. The patients had been taking clarithromycin (400 mg/day) for respiratory disease. Although erythromycin is reportedly associated with TdP, this is the first report of clarithromycin associated with TdP in the absence of other drugs already known to produce QT prolongation.
