Journal ArticleDOI

Amiodarone-associated Proarrhythmic Effects: A Review with Special Reference to Torsade de Pointes Tachycardia

TL;DR: The proarrhythmic potential of amiodarone is examined, with particular reference to its ability to provoke polymorphic ventricular tachycardia of the torsade de pointes type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrical storm in patients with transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators: Incidence, management and prognostic implications

TL;DR: The cumulative probability of survival as estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method showed that patients with an episode of electrical storm did not have a worse outcome compared to those without such an event, and electrical storm represents a frequent event in patients treated with modern ICDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of QT dispersion for prediction of mortality or arrhythmic events after myocardial infarction: results of a prospective, long-term follow-up study.

TL;DR: Determination of QTD from the surface ECG even when performed with the best available methodology failed to predict subsequent risk in this large series of infarct survivors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictive value of T-wave alternans for arrhythmic events in patients with congestive heart failure

TL;DR: Measurement of microvolt level T-wave alternans in the surface electrocardiogram is a novel way to assess the risk of ventricular arrhythmias and was a significant and independent predictor of arrhythmic events.
