摘要: Drug‐induced torsade de pointes is a modern, iatrogenic challenge. This potentially fatal tachyarrhythmia associated with many non‐antiarrhythmic (including non‐cardiovascular) drugs, leading to number of effective drugs being withdrawn from the market. Others have attracted severe prescribing restrictions while some new chemical entities experienced difficulties in gaining regulatory approval. Since QT interval prolongation, surrogate torsade, mechanism‐based concentration‐dependent pharmacological effect, it usually possible characterise drug for this toxicity during its development. The physicochemical and other properties QT‐prolonging modulate clinical risk pointes. Apart these properties, torsadogenic potential also influenced clinically by genetic non‐genetic factors. former include polymorphisms enzymes that metabolise or target. Major factor...
