Monomorphic and propafenone-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in Brugada syndrome: a case report.
Torsades de Pointes (TdP) is a form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia specifically associated with a prolonged QT interval that may be fatal if not immediately treated (American Heart Association, 2005).
6-8) Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine describes 12 patients in whom diagnostic or therapeutic interventions were initiated as a direct result of misdiagnosed artifacts; for example, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in 5 patients and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in 7 patients.
Torsade de pointes is a form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that occurs in the setting of both congenital and acquired long QT syndrome (LQTS) (9).
About FAMILION([R]) The FAMILION tests detect genetic mutations that can cause cardiac channelopathies, such as Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), Brugada Syndrome (BrS) and Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT), or cardiomyopathies such as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), in individuals and their families.
6) have reported that QT interval above 600 ms and premature ventricular beats on electrocardiogram (ECG) seem to indicate an increased risk for the development of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in a patient with atrioventricular block (AVB) (6).
About FAMILION [R] The FAMILION family of tests detects genetic mutations that can cause cardiac channelopathies or cardiomyopathies such as Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), Brugada Syndrome (BrS) and Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) in individuals and their families.
Cardiac channelopathies are rare, potentially lethal heart conditions, including Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), Brugada Syndrome (BrS) and Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT).
