from that among normal controls and patients with osteoarthritis. Immobility per se does not seem to be a primary factor as the patients with osteoarthritis did not show an increased prevalence compared with the control group. Certain medical conditions, including pure iron deficiency, uraemia, pregnancy, gastrectomy, and carcinoma, are associated with the syndrome, providing potential clues ab...
متن کاملTorsade De Pointes, an atypical ventricular tachycardia.

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 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)...
