Torsade de pointes.

Current opinion in cardiology - 1 Jan 2003

El-Sherif Nabil, Turitto Gioia

Abstract excerpt

Torsade de pointes ventricular tachyarrhythmia in the long QT syndrome is a prime example of how molecular biology, ion channel, and cellular and organ physiology, coupled with clinical observations, promise to be the future paradigm for advancement of medical knowledge. Both the congenital and the acquired long QT syndrome are caused by abnormalities (intrinsic, acquired, or both) of the ionic currents...
