Electrophysiologic parameters and predisposing factors in the generation of drug-induced Torsade de Pointes arrhythmias

Pharmacology & Therapeutics

Abstract

When a new (cardiovascular) drug shows signs of QT interval prolongation on the ECG (delay in repolarization time), the regulatory agencies demand screening of its possible proarrhythmic potential before approving it for clinical practice. In this review, identified predisposing factors have been related to specific electrophysiological parameters, allowing quantification of their contribution to Torsade de Pointes arrhythmias. In addition, arrhythmogenic mechanisms involved in the initiation and perpetuation of drug-induced Torsade de Pointes are discussed.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
