Diagnosis
- QTc >440 (male), >460 (female)
- >500 = real concern (may result in torsades)
Differential Diagnosis
- Pause Dependent (Aquired)
- Drug induced
- Antidyrhythmics
- Phenothiazines
- TCAs
- Organophosphates
- Antihistamines
- Electrolyte Abnormalities (hypoKalemia, hypoMag, hypoCa)
- Diet related (starvation, low protein)
- Severe Bradycardia/AV Block
- Hypothyroid
- Contrast injection
- CVA (intraparenchymal)
- MI
- Drug induced
- Adrenergic Dependent
- Congenital
- Jarvel/Lange-Nielsen
- (+deafness; AR)
- Romano-Ward synd
- (nl hearing; AD)
- Sporatic
- Mitral valve prolapse
- Jarvel/Lange-Nielsen
- Acquired
- CVA (subarachnoid)
- Autonomic surg (catechol excess: neck dissection, carotid endarterect, truncal vagotomy)
- Congenital

Treatment
Pause Dependent (precipitated by bradycard)
- Unstable/sustained torsades--> defibrilation (unsynchronized)
- Stable
- Treat underlying prob
- Increase HR (isoproterenol or overdrive pacing)
- Magnesium sulfate IV
- Consider amiodarone
Adrenergic Dependent (precipited by tachycardia)
- Unstable/sustained torsades--> defibrilation (unsynchronized)
- Stable
- Slow HR ([[B-blockers[[)
- May consider magnesium sulfate
