Title: | Q-T Interval Prolongation and Pleomorphic Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia ( 'Torsade De Pointes') in Organophosphate Poisoning: Report of a Case | Authors: | TSENG, CHUEN-DEN | Issue Date: | 1998 | Journal Volume: | v.17 | Journal Issue: | n.10 | Start page/Pages: | 587-590 | Source: | HUMAN & EXPERIMENTAL TOXICOLOGY | Abstract: | 1 A 63-year-old woman presented with drowsy consciousness and dyspnea, followed by respiratory failure, after taking a bottle of parathion for suicide. 2 Sinus tachycardia was noted initially by ECG and Q-T interval prolongation with pleomorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia ('Torsade de pointes ') occurred on the third day of admission. 3 Torsade de pointes was relieved by magnesium sulfate and atropine sulfate intravenously. Q-T interval returned to normal on the fifth day of admission. 4 Practicing physicians should be aware of this uncommon type of cardiac toxicity caused by organophosphate poisoning, Q-T interval prolongation and pleomorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia. |
