Common Genetic Variant Risk Score Is Associated With Drug-Induced QT Prolongation and Torsade de Pointes Risk: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Background -Drug-induced QT interval prolongation, a risk factor for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, is a potential side effect of many marketed and withdrawn medications.

There are some data showing that repurposed drugs used for the Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19) have potential to increase the risk of QTc prolongation and torsade de pointes (TdP), and these arrhythmic side effects have not been adequately addressed in

Effects of early afterdepolarizations on excitation patterns in an accurate model of the human ventricles [PDF]
Early Afterdepolarizations, EADs, are defined as the reversal of the action potential before completion of the repolarization phase, which can result in ectopic beats.

A case is described of torsade de pointes in a 41 year old woman with pre-existing QTc prolongation, potentially exacerbated by treatment with sotalol. Previous cardiac investigations had been normal and after a second episode of ventricular fibrillation the patient was referred for electrophysiological studies.

It has been difficult to experimentally reproduce synergistic effects of ketoconazole on terfenadine-induced torsade de pointes. We assessed proarrhythmic effects of terfenadine (30 mg/kg, p.o.) with/without ketoconazole (100 mg/kg, p.o.) pretreatment ...

Torsade de Pointes (TdP), a rare but lethal ventricular arrhythmia, is a toxic side effect of many drugs. To assess TdP risk, safety regulatory guidelines require quantification of hERG channel block in vitro and QT interval prolongation in vivo for all ...

We analyzed the effects of intravenously as well as orally administered moxifloxacin on the pharmacokinetic and electrocardiographic variables along with its torsadogenic action using the chronic atrioventricular block cynomolgus monkeys with a cross ...

We assessed torsadogenic action of risperidone, which can potently inhibit IKr as well as α1-adrenoceptor. A toxic dose of 3 mg/kg of risperidone was intravenously administered over 10 min to chronic atrioventricular block dogs without anesthesia with ...
