Torsade de Pointes

Drugs, 1994
Torsade de pointes is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia showing a peculiar electrocardiographic pattern characterised by a continuous twisting in QRS axis around an imaginary baseline. An abnormally prolonged QT interval is actually associated with torsade de pointes and it is constantly observed in the sinus beats preceding the onset of the ...

Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, ischaemic ventricular fibrillation, and torsade de pointes: importance of the QT and the coupling interval in the differential diagnosis.

European Heart Journal, 2021
AIMS Distinctive types of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) respond differently to different forms of therapy. We therefore performed the present study to define the electrocardiographic characteristics of different forms of polymorphic VT ...

Torsade de pointes

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2003
Torsade de pointes ventricular tachyarrhythmia in the long QT syndrome is a prime example of how molecular biology, ion channel, and cellular and organ physiology, coupled with clinical observations, promise to be the future paradigm for advancement of medical knowledge. Both the congenital and the acquired long QT syndrome are caused by abnormalities (

Les torsades des pointes

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1982
A 17-year-old woman had two admissions within five months for recurrent episodes of ventricular tachycardia in conjunction with a prolonged QT interval. On both occasions these were refractory to intravenous lidocaine and bretylium. During her first admission her dysrhythmia was controlled by repeated doses of intravenous propranolol; however, she ...

Torsade de pointes.

Heart & lung : the journal of critical care, 1981
Prolonged QT or QU intervals can be caused by a variety of conditions which include drugs, electrolyte imbalance, and acquired and congenital diseases. This finding is associated with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias that, at times, have unusual morphologies characteristically named "torsade de pointes." Treatment, when iatrogenic, is obvious ...

Torsades de pointes

Confederation of Australian Critical Care Nurses Journal, 1990
Torsades de Pointes (T.D.P.) is a ventricular dysrhythmia that is a commonly undiagnosed condition seen within Critical Care areas of most Major Metropolitan Hospitals. It is a condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Experience has shown a lack of understanding of the clinical features and the treatment of this particular life ...

Torsades de pointes

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
The treatment of torsades de pointes is very effective but also very specific. Prompt recognition of torsades de pointes is imperative, and the clue to its recognition is increased awareness. The QT interval in the long QT syndrome (LQTS) is not only prolonged but also odd looking.
