Drug-induced prolongation of cardiac repolarization may trigger malignant ventricular
arrhythmias, such as torsade de pointes. The duration of QT interval, QT corrected for heart …

This review evaluates the mechanism of volatile anesthetics as cardioprotective agents in
both clinical and laboratory research and furthermore assesses possible cardiac side effects …

QT prolongation can be attributable to various causes that can be categorised as acquired
or congenital. Arrhythmias related to QT prolongation can result in clinical presentations …

Long QT syndrome incidence is increasing in general population. A careful pre-, peri-and
post-operative management is needed for patients with this syndrome because of the risk of …

TORSADES DE pointes (TdP or “twisting of the points”) is a rare but potentially fatal
polymorphic ventricular tachycardia characterized by rapid, wide QRS complexes of …

Background and objectives: In our study we aimed to investigate the effect of esmolol,
lidocaine and fentanyl on P-wave dispersion (Pwd), QT and corrected QT (QTc) durations …
