Drug-Induced QT Interval Prolongation
Authors: Domina Petric.
Abstract
The correct measurement of the QT interval (using the QT correction formulas, preferably Fridericia and Framingham) as well as a correct interpretation of the causes and of the clinical consequences of a QT prolongation is very important in clinical practice. Drug-induced long QT syndrome (DILQTS) is one of the most common causes of LQTS. In the diagnosis and management of the DILQTS, it can be useful to follow the three-step rule presented in this article: detailed pharmacological anamnesis and correct ECG interpretation; database search and clinical interpretation; confirmatory test.
