What conditions or situations cause prolonged QT intervals in the electrocardiogram besides the use of antidepressants? If there is a need for an antiarrhythmic in a patient on an antidepressant, which antiarrhythmics are less likely to cause further prolongation of the QT interval?. ...
Although a QT interval of at least 500 milliseconds generally has been shown to correlate with a higher risk of torsades de pointes, there is no established threshold below which prolongation of the QT interval is considered free of proarrhythmic risk. The risk of torsades de pointes should be...
[69]. Notably, a recent retrospective chart review on 55 patients with cutaneous sarcoidosis found a prolonged QT interval only in 5.4% of patients (vs 12.1% in 116 controls), with a non-significant increase in mean QT length (+ 6 ms) in a sub-analysis of 22 patients [70]. Another ...

(ACE2) binding site and prevention of cytokine storm. Unfortunately, its adverse effects like gastrointestinal complications, retinopathy and QT interval prolongation are evident in treated COVID-19 patients.But there is a lack of quality evidence to demonstrate CQ and HCQ are effective in the ...
Vascular eye-based measures are considered a proxy for the status of the cerebrovascular system,73,74 which is assumed to play, among other factors, a vital role in the positive relationship between physical activity and fitness and measures of cognitive performance.13,34,36,75 Various approaches...
In the past, asthma was considered mainly as a childhood disease. However, asthma is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly nowadays. In addition, the burden of asthma is more significant in the elderly than in their younger counter
For example, it is generally not useful to mention prolonged QT in the presence of intraventricular conduction defects such as right or left bundle-branch block. In an analysis of 44896 ECGs representing all adult non鈥搗entricular-paced ECGs in a major hospital ECG database over the course ...
He developed palpitations and weakness 45 minutes after receiving ziprasidone. His QT interval was prolonged on ECG and returned to baseline after 72 hours. They concluded that performing an ECG before ziprasidone dosing should be considered.Sanaei-Zadeh,H.The American journal of emergency medicine...
