Association between C-reactive protein, corrected QT interval and presence of QT prolongation in hypertensive patients [PDF]

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2014
C-reactive protein (CRP) and corrected QT (QTc) interval are predictors of cardiovascular disease. Whether CRP is associated with QTc interval and QT prolongation is unknown in hypertensive patients.

Drug-induced QT interval prolongation in cancer patients

open access: yesOncology Reviews, 2011
Cancer patients are at an increased risk for QT interval prolongation and subsequent potentially fatal Torsade de pointes tachycardia due to the multiple drugs used for treatment of malignancies and the associated symptoms and complications.

Multifactorial QT interval prolongation. [PDF]

open access: yesCardiology journal, 2010
Acquired long QT interval has been widely reported to be a consequence of drug therapy and electrolyte disturbances. We describe two cases of multifactorial acquired QT interval prolongation and torsades de pointes. In the first case, the drugs venlafaxine, amiodarone and domperidone may have contributed to QT interval prolongation in a patient with ...

[QT Interval and Its Prolongation - What Does It Mean?] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The assessment of the QT interval has been an integral part of ECG interpretation since the first descriptions of long QT syndrome by Wolff in 1950 and by Jervell and Lange-Nielsen in 1957.

Cancer treatment and drug-induced QT interval prolongation: A review

open access: yesConsilium Medicum, 2022
Anticancer drugs can cause drug-induced prolongation of the QT interval. Prolongation of the QT interval is a known risk factor and an independent predictor of the development of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (polymorphic ventricular ...

Ventricular arrhythmia in patients with prolonged QT interval during liver transplantation: two cases report [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2014
QT interval prolongation is associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia in various conditions. Cardiac electrophysiologic abnormalities including QT interval prolongation are well documented in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis.

Novel genes for QTc interval. How much heritability is explained, and how much is left to find? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The corrected QT (QTc) interval is a complex quantitative trait, believed to be influenced by several genetic and environmental factors. It is a strong prognostic indicator of cardiovascular mortality in patients with and without cardiac disease.

Common Genetic Variation Near the Phospholamban Gene Is Associated with Cardiac Repolarisation: Meta-Analysis of Three Genome-Wide Association Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
To identify loci affecting the electrocardiographic QT interval, a measure of cardiac repolarisation associated with risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, we conducted a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies (GWAS ...
