Drug induced QT prolongation.
The drug-induced QT prolongation predisposes to development of torsades de pointes (TdP) ventricular tachycardia and sudden death. The association between specific drug and development of TdP is difficult to document, therefore, QT prolongation is considered as a surrogate marker of the proarrhythmia risk. Most of the drugs prolong QT interval usually by blocking the potassium IKr current or al...

متن کاملDrug-induced QT prolongation journal article
Background: Although QT prolongation is associated with increased risk of torsade de pointes (TdP), the precise relationship is not well defined. Aim: To evaluate the performance of a QT nomogram in assessing the risk of TdP from QT– RR combinations. Design: Systematic review. Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE/ EMBASE for cases of drug-induced TdP. Controls were patients taking non-ca...
متن کاملHyperinsulinemic Euglycemia and Intravenous Lipid Emulsion Treatments for Calcium Channel Blocker and Beta Blocker Poisoning: A Report of Two Cases
Poisoning with calcium channel blockers and beta blockers are associated with high mortality and morbidity rates, especially in children. Treatment of poisoning with these drugs includes administration of atropine, glucagon, calcium and inotropic agents as clinically needed; and newer approaches like hyperinsulinemic euglycemia and intravenous lipid emulsion therapies. We herein present two ref...
