We report the case of a 70-year-old man presenting with the development of torsade de pointes (TDP) during infusion of propofol in the setting of severe hypoalbuminemia. TDP developed 15 hours after the beginning of a standard infusion of propofol, following the development of a prominent U wave and
BACKGROUND
Case reports and unblinded studies suggest that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease is associated with QT prolongation and torsade de pointes ventricular tachycardia. Hepatitis C coinfection is common in patients with HIV disease, and cirrhosis is also associated with QT
BACKGROUND
Drug-induced long QT syndrome (LQTS) has been linked to arrhythmias (including Torsades de Pointes and sudden cardiac death), and has led to an increased awareness of the potential risk of delayed repolarization in vitro and in vivo. However, in vitro assessments of delayed repolarization
Electrolytes are essential for basic life functioning such as maintaining electrical neutrality in the cells, generation, and conduction of action potentials in the nerves and muscles. Sodium, potassium, and chloride are the significant electrolytes along with magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and
In long QT syndrome type 2, women are more prone than men to the lethal arrhythmia torsades de pointes. We previously reported that 17β-estradiol (E2) up-regulates L-type Ca2+ channels and current (ICa,L) (∼30%) in rabbit ventricular myocytes by a classic genomic mechanism mediated by estrogen
