Anticancer drugs may have proarrhythmic effects including drug-induced QT interval prolongation, which is of particular importance because it can lead to a fatal polymorphic ventricular tachycardia termed torsade de pointes (TdP).

We evaluated proarrhythmic risk of intravenous oseltamivir with chronic atrioventricular block canine model (n = 4) and action-potential assay on guinea-pig right ventricle (n = 5). Oseltamivir in doses of 3–30 mg/kg, i.v.

AbstractThe polymorphic ventricular tachycardia torsade de pointes can occur in the congenital long QT syndromes or as a consequence of therapy with QT‐prolonging drugs. The latter can include not only antiarrhythmic drugs such as quinidine, but also a number of drugs which are not usually considered to have major cardiovascular effects: these include ...

The Contribution of National Spontaneous Reporting Systems to Detect Signals of Torsadogenicity: Issues Emerging from the ARITMO Project [PDF]
Introduction: Spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs) are pivotal for signal detection, especially for rare events with a high drug-attributable component, such as torsade de pointes (TdP).

Long QT Syndrome and Perioperative Torsades de Pointes: What the Anesthesiologist Should Know.
Perioperative Torsade de Pointes (TdP) is a potentially fatal arrhythmia. The association between the prolongation of corrected QT (QTc) interval and TdP has been well described, but prolonged QTc interval is likely not to be a sole determinant.

Background: Acquired QT interval prolongation has been linked with malignant ventricular arrhythmias, such as torsade de pointes, in turn predisposing to sudden cardiac death. Increased dispersion of repolarization has been identified as a pro-arrhythmic

Hypocalcemic torsades de pointes
Torsades de pointes is a unique form of ventricular tachycardia that occurs in the presence of prolonged QT interval. Many predisposing factors have been identified. A classical form of torsades de pointes occurring in the presence of hypocalcemia and prolonged QT interval in an elderly woman is reported.

Spatial patterns of excitation at tissue and whole organ level due to early afterdepolarizations [PDF]
Early after depolarizations (EAD) occur in many pathological conditions, such as congenital or acquired channelopathies, drug induced arrhythmias, and several other situations that are associated with increased arrhythmogenicity. In this paper we present
