Sleep-Associated Torsades de Pointes: A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine, 2017
Torsades de Pointes (TdP) is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that occurs in the presence of an acquired or congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS). We present the case of a 57 year-old man with end-stage renal disease on methadone maintenance in which ...

Cardiovascular safety of testosterone therapy—Insights from the TRAVERSE trial and beyond: A position statement of the European Expert Panel for Testosterone Research

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 294-302, January 2026.
Abstract Introduction Testosterone therapy has become a cornerstone treatment for men with hypogonadism, offering significant benefits such as improved sexual function, mood, muscle mass, and bone density. However, concerns about its cardiovascular safety have historically tempered its use.

Sex Hormones and Repolarization Dynamics During the Menstrual Cycle in Women Treated With QT‐Prolonging Drugs

open access: yesAnnals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2026.
Sex hormones significantly influence ventricular repolarization in women treated with QT‐prolonging drugs, with estrogen prolonging and progesterone/testosterone shortening QT measures. These findings highlight a hormonal mechanism for sex‐specific arrhythmia risk and support closer monitoring of reproductive‐age women receiving QT‐prolonging therapies.

Torsade de Pointes Induced by Hypokalemia from Imipenem and Piperacillin

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, 2017
Imipenem-cilastatin and piperacillin-tazobactam are two antibiotics with broad antimicrobial coverage. Besides the many well established adverse effects of these drugs, there have been few case reports of hypokalemia.

Torsades de Pointes associated with QT prolongation after catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

open access: yesIndian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2017
A 79-year-old woman who underwent catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation presented with Torsades de Pointes (TdP). Aggravation of prolonged QT interval which is most likely due to neural modulation by catheter ablation, played major role in

Pharmacotherapy Risks in Rare Genetic Diseases: Cross‐Referencing ACMG Secondary Findings v3.2 List With Clinical Databases

open access: yesClinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinical genomics and pharmacogenomics have largely remained separate fields, though some genetic variants have overlapping disease risk and drug implications. However, the extent of this overlap is not well studied. To explore this gap, we cross‐referenced genes from the American College of Medical Genetics Secondary Findings v3.2 list with ...

Effects of pH on Nifekalant-Induced Electrophysiological Change Assessed in the Langendorff Heart Model of Guinea Pigs

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
Since information regarding the effects of pH on the extent of nifekalant-induced repolarization delay and torsades de pointes remains limited, we assessed it with a Langendorff heart model of guinea pigs.
