Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Drug Safety"
DOI: 10.1007/s40264-017-0584-4
Abstract: QT prolongation was perceived as a major antiarrhythmic mechanism, but soon became a surrogate for torsades de pointes (TdP) instead. Drugs that prolong the QT interval range from having potent torsadogenic activity to no proarrhythmic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2016.05.012
Abstract: OBJECTIVE A fatal cardiac complication can occasionally present in malnourished patients during refeeding; this is known as refeeding syndrome. However, to our knowledge, hyperglycemia preceding torsades de pointes with QT prolongation during refeeding has not… read more here.

TORSADES DE POINTES SECONDARY TO SOTALOL: PREDICTABLE BUT NOT ALWAYS PREVENTABLE
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of the American College of Cardiology"
DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)33395-9
Abstract: Sotalol is an effective antiarrhythmic drug for the maintenance of sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation. However, its QTc-prolonging effect increases the risk for torsades de pointes (TdP) and sudden cardiac death. Thus, it is typically… read more here.
