QT Prolongation during a Migraine Attack
نویسندگان
چکیده
Any dysfunction in the calcium channels may be related to many signs or symptoms. On ECG the QT interval is the most sensitive electric phenomenon used to be altered by changes in the intracellular or extracellular calcium concentrations. We hypothesize that before the appearance of clinical signs of migraine, the impairments of ion channel function within genetically susceptible individuals might induce ECG abnormalities [2].

QT Measurement and Heart Rate Correction during Hypoglycemia: Is There a Bias?
Introduction. Several studies show that hypoglycemia causes QT interval prolongation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of QT measurement methodology, heart rate correction, and insulin types during hypoglycemia. Methods. Ten adult subjects with type 1 diabetes had hypoglycemia induced by intravenous injection of two insulin types in a cross-over design. QT measurements were d...
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 کاملLong QT syndrome complicating atrioventricular block: arrhythmogenic effects of cardiac memory.
BACKGROUND The magnitude of QT prolongation in response to bradycardia, rather than the bradycardia per se, determines the risk for torsade de pointes during atrioventricular block (AVB). However, we do not know why some patients develop more QT prolongation than others, despite similar bradycardia. We hypothesized that in patients who develop significant QRS vector changes during AVB, the effe...
متن کاملPredicting QT prolongation in humans during early drug development using hERG inhibition and an anaesthetized guinea-pig model
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Drug-induced prolongation of the QT interval can lead to torsade de pointes, a life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia. Finding appropriate assays from among the plethora of options available to predict reliably this serious adverse effect in humans remains a challenging issue for the discovery and development of drugs. The purpose of the present study was to develop and ...
متن کاملSevere QT interval prolongation associated with moxifloxacin: a case report
INTRODUCTION The QT interval prolongation is an adverse effect associated with moxifloxacin. This adverse effect can lead to potentially life-threatening arrhythmias such as Torsades de pointes. We describe a case of severe QT interval prolongation associated with moxifloxacin which may cause the development of Torsades de pointes. There have been no reported case of severe corrected QT interva...
