Exercising electrocardiograms from Thoroughbred racehorses with exercise associated sudden death

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Exercise associated sudden death (EASD), defined as a fatal collapse in a closely monitored and previously presumed clinically healthy horse that occurs during exercise or within approximately 1 h after exercise, is disproportionately more common in equine than in human athletes.

Iron Overload Leading to Torsades de Pointes in β-Thalassemia and Long QT Syndrome [PDF]

, 2016
The authors present a unique case of torsades de pointes in a β-thalassemia patient with early iron overload in the absence of any structural abnormalities as seen in hemochromatosis.

Torsade des pointes and aprindine

International Journal of Cardiology, 1985
Aprindine was given orally to an 88-year-old patient with atrial fibrillation and ventricular premature depolarizations. The premature beats disappeared and sinus rhythm was restored on the third day of treatment. While on aprindine the QT interval was prolonged and the U wave became very prominent.

Genetic Biomarkers in the Risk Assessment of Sudden Cardiac Events: A Personalized Approach

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
Genetic insights into the risk assessment of sudden cardiac events. ABSTRACT Sudden cardiac events are the leading cause of death worldwide. Conventional risk stratification methods, which largely depend on clinical history, imaging, and electrocardiography, are usually inadequate for identifying high‐risk individuals, especially those without visible ...

Genome wide analysis of drug-induced torsades de pointes: lack of common variants with large effect sizes.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Marked prolongation of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram associated with the polymorphic ventricular tachycardia Torsades de Pointes is a serious adverse event during treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs and other culprit medications, and is a ...

Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen Syndrome Related Clinical Genetics and Experimental Models

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is defined by electrocardiographic QT prolongation and sensorineural hearing loss, caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in KCNQ1 and/or KCNE1. KCNQ1 encodes the alpha subunit Kv7.1 of the ion channels accountable for slow delayed rectifier potassium currents (IKs), whereas KCNE1 ...

Long QT Syndrome With Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Resulting From a Novel Mutation in ANK2: A Case Report and Literature Review

Cardiology Discovery
. Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a life-threatening ion channelopathy caused by mutations in genes encoding specific ion channels, which can result in malignant arrhythmia of the torsades de pointes type.
