Idiopathic short-coupled ventricular tachyarrhythmias: Systematic review and validation of electrocardiographic indices

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2018
Introduction: Idiopathic short-coupled ventricular tachyarrhythmias make up a considerable proportion of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in structurally normal hearts and are the cause of 5–10% of unexpected sudden cardiac deaths.

Use of QT Prolonging Medications by Hemodialysis Patients and Individuals Without End‐Stage Kidney Disease

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 ...

Acquired Long QT Syndrome and Torsade de Pointes Associated with HIV Infection

Case Reports in Medicine, 2010
Here, we report the case of an HIV infected patient that was treated for pneumonia with a macrolid antibiotic. The patient experienced a prolongation of the already pathologic QTc interval resulting in repeated torsades de pointes necessitating CPR and ...

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.

Torsade de pointes [PDF]

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 ...

Comprehensive translational assessment of human-induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes for evaluating drug-induced arrhythmias [PDF]

, 2016
Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CM) hold promise for assessment of drug-induced arrhythmias and are being considered for use under the comprehensive in vitro proarrhythmia assay (CiPA).
