Abstract 4139536: Incidence of Severe QT Prolongation and the Assoicated Risk of Ventricular Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death in Patients Taking Antipsychotics or Antidepressants

Circulation

Background:Limited data exist on the incidence of severe QT prolongation (SQTP) in patients using antipsychotics or antidepressants and the associated risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD).Aims:This ms and +6.7 ± 36.1 ms, respectively.

HeartRhythm

Examination of previously reported predictors of lethal ventricular arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death (VA/SCD) by ECG in Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a manual measurement and lacks objectivity.

Preparticipation screening in young female elite ice hockey players

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ObjectivesThe occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in competitive athletes has led to a discussion about appropriate preparticipation screening models. The role of an electrocardiogram (ECG) in routine testing remains controversial in current guidelines. A staged preparticipation screening was performed.
