Prolongation of the QT Interval and Post-Extrasystolic Augmentation of the TU-Wave During Emotional Stress
We present a case of a 25-year-old woman with multiple blackouts and no structural heart disease, with abnormal T-U waves and borderline QT interval on her resting electrocardiogram. During emotional stress she developed frequent monomorphic ventricular premature beats, with characteristic changes of the sinus complexes immediately following the premature beats, namely augmentation and greater ...
متن کاملGiant T-wave inversions and extreme QT prolongation.
An 84-year-old woman presented with hypoglycemiainduced altered mental status. Presentation vital signs were notable for a cuff blood pressure of 150/102 mm Hg but otherwise were unremarkable. Her neurological examination after dextrose was unremarkable and a CT of the brain showed no evidence of infarction or hemorrhage. Her initial ECG (Figure A) demonstrated normal sinus rhythm (rate, 84 bpm...
متن کاملMultifactorial QT Interval Prolongation and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
A 71-year-old woman collapsed while working as a grocery store cashier. CPR was performed and an AED revealed torsades de pointes (TdP). She was subsequently defibrillated resulting in restoration of sinus rhythm with a QTc interval of 544 msec. Further evaluation revealed a diagnosis of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TCM) contributing to the development of a multifactorial acquired long QT syndrome...
متن کاملQ-T interval prolongation in cirrhosis: Relationship and severity
Background: Cirrhosis as the final stage of progressive fibrosis of liver can affect other organs such as lungs, kidneys and heart. "Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy" involves the electrophysiological abnormalities such as QT interval prolongation. We assessed correlation between corrected QT interval prolongation and severity of cirrhosis based on Child Classification in each ECG lead. ...
متن کاملDrug-Induced Prolongation of the QT Interval
N Engl J Med 2004;350:1013-22. Copyright © 2004 Massachusetts Medical Society. n the past decade, the single most common cause of the withdrawal or restriction of the use of drugs that have already been marketed has been the prolongation of the QT interval associated with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or torsade de pointes (Fig. 1), which can be fatal. 1 Nine structurally unrelated drugs...
