Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background The rate of sudden cardiac death in the hemodialysis population exceeds that of the general population by >20‐fold. Hemodialysis patients may be particularly susceptible to sudden cardiac death provoked by drug‐induced QT prolongation because ...

Ticagrelor-Induced Torsades de Pointes following Myocardial Infarction
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2022 We report a case of excessive QT prolongation and subsequent torsades de pointes (TdP) following the administration of ticagrelor in a 58-year-old male patient. The patient had no suspected cause of QT prolongation.

Clinical Cardiology, 1993 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 ...

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Antipsychotics are often prescribed in the management of behaviors and psychological symptoms of dementia. While the potential harms of antipsychotic use in people with dementia have been established, little is known about the risk associated with antipsychotic drug–drug interactions (DDIs). This study aims to examine the patterns of antipsychotic DDIs
