Terminology of torsades de pointes
Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 1991Marked prolongation of the QT interval may be associated with life-threatening ventricular tachycardia. The ventricular tachycardia has a polymorphous appearance and is usually induced by antiarrhythmic drugs. This peculiar type of ventricular tachycardia was termed by Desserstenne torsades de pointes because of its twisting ORS axis.

Torsades de Pointes in a Child
Pediatric Cardiology, 2009Torsades de pointes refers to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia secondary to a prolonged QTc interval on electrocardiogram [1]. Prolonged QTc interval can be a hereditary disorder, e.g., Jervell, Lange-Nielson, and Romano-Ward syndromes. Other causes include electrolyte imbalance, antiarrhythmic medications, and cardiomyopathy.

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.

Resume Les torsades de pointes sont des arythmies ventriculaires rares, particulieres par leur aspect (rotation des QRS autour de l'axe electrique), leurs circonstances d'apparition et leur traitement specifique. De durees variables, elles sont souvent repetitives, formant de veritables orages rythmiques. Quoique rapides, elles peuvent eventuellement
