Cardiovascular drugs inducing QT prolongation: facts and evidence.

Current drug safety - 1 Jan 2010

Taira Carlos A, Opezzo Javier A W, Mayer Marcos A, Höcht Christian

Abstract excerpt

Acquired QT syndrome is mainly caused by the administration of drugs that prolong ventricular repolarization. On the other hand, the risk of drug-induced torsades de pointes is increased by numerous predisposing factors, such as genetic predisposition, female sex, hypokalemia and cardiac dysfunction. This adverse reaction is induced by different chemical compounds used for the treatment of a variety of...
