Predictive Analytics for Identification of Patients at Risk for QT Interval Prolongation – A Systematic Review [PDF]
Prolongation of the heart rate‐corrected QT (QTc) interval increases the risk for torsades de pointes (TdP), a potentially fatal arrhythmia. The likelihood of TdP is higher in patients with risk factors, which include female sex, older age, heart failure

Pharmacogenetics of Drug-Induced QT Interval Prolongation: An Update [PDF]
A prolonged QT interval is an important risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. QT prolongation can be caused by drugs. There are multiple risk factors for drug-induced QT prolongation, including genetic variation.

Absence of relevant QT interval prolongation in not critically ill COVID-19 patients
SARS-CoV-2 is a rapidly evolving pandemic causing great morbimortality. Medical therapy with hydroxicloroquine, azitromycin and protease inhibitors is being empirically used, with reported data of QTc interval prolongation.

QT interval prolongation and Torsades de Pointes with donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine [PDF]
Background: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEis) including donepezil, galantamine and rivastigmine are used to treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study aimed to evaluate evidence from the case report literature for an association between these ...

Genetic and Molecular Aspects of Drug-Induced QT Interval Prolongation. [PDF]
Long QT syndromes can be either acquired or congenital. Drugs are one of the many etiologies that may induce acquired long QT syndrome. In fact, many drugs frequently used in the clinical setting are a known risk factor for a prolonged QT interval, thus ...
