This is seriously the best video i've watch so far for torsades de pointes! thank you!

[@emmildavid3969]

Very detailed, clear and direct explanation! Thank you so much

[@dummysalami]

Really excellent. This video cleared up SO MANY THINGS for me. Amazing work.

[@fatmak_af]

I am in awe of how good this video is. Truly, job well done!

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

4:05 As someone with LQTS and a heavy PVC burden, whenever I end up in the ER, the QTc is always inaccurate because it doesn't take the Pvc's into account. It'll frequently say on the strip that my QTc is much longer than it actually is. Apparently a lot of ER docs and nurses are unaware of this, and I don't ever know my actual QT interval until I see my electrophysiologist and they figure it out.

All of your videos are awesome.... So glad I found your channel

Man, that was great! Thank you!

Will do. Thanks

[@CarlScogland]

Would love a video on early repolarization syndrome! You explain things very well!

[@marypetterson8650]

Amazing video! You are very specific with your explanations and visual demonstrations of torsade de pointes! Thank you very much

[@t.g.v.6955]

My golly its absolutely very good. There is no more reason why medical students in this age/generations can't grasp and failed on this topic compare on my generation 2 and half years ago. During my time, I just keep on imagining what Harisson has been saying which to this day is still confusing until "NOW". Thanks.

[@t.g.v.6955]

Correction. ....its 2 and half decades ago.

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

​@@t.g.v.6955 It's frustrating as a patient. A lot of ER docs/nurses don't have any knowledge about it.

this is a brilliant effort...v fundamental knowledge in such a concise and relevant manner.I would love to know if the publishers lets me know which books are they studying for medicine.

I have this. I had a run of Torsades de Pointes in January. I didn't pass out, it converted to sinus after IV mag, really scary experience. I still have a prolonged qt interval but it's better than it was, usually around 500ms. I have an implanted monitor with telemetry, considering an ICD.

[@Hazelton1234]

Hello 👋 whar was your ms numbers when it was uncontrolled? I recently got an ecg back with qtc 500 ms and I'm very concerned and still waiting for a follow up appointment

[@rudradev8652]

How hypokalemia or hypomag. Can lead to arrythmia in long qt syndrome?

[@MedBees]

Hypokalemia means less potassium in our cells also. So there will be delayed repolarization as repol occurs with efflux of potassium (slower efflux) and hence qt interval will be prolonged . And when qt interval prolonged Early after Depolarizations can occur and cause tachyarrythmia.

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

​@@MedBees good explanation

[@mehmoodahmed1825]

Excellent way..... 👍👍

[@toluakin5916]

Could you please explain why we still have increased heart rate in torsades de pointes since the QT interval is prolonged? Thanks

[@Alilamedicalmedia]

Prolonged QT is a risk factor for torsade de pointes. Once torsade de pointes happens, there is no more QT, at all - take a look at the ECGs. The details are explained in the video.

[@t.g.v.6955]

In a way it's a way of been hijacked. Once no more qt/repolarization, it's always in a state of depolarization repeatedly/continuously.

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

There's no heart rate in Torsades, it's in ventricular fibrillation

[@Departedreflections]

very concise. thank you

[@easybiochemistrywithnaira3797]

Thank you, Helpful

[@ammadbinilyas6309]

[@innovativeinnovation6629]

Is it true that Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors could cause this condition as well?

[@brazax7430]

Yes, selective serotonin reuptake and many other types of medications can cause QT interval prolongation and sudden cardiac death.

[@innovativeinnovation6629]

@@brazax7430 I am an alcoholic and I am on citalopram. I am prescribed 40mg a day but I take 80mg a day. The reason why is because I don't feel the full effects, because alcohol dampens down the serotonin levels. Am I still at risk with QT interval prolongation by doing this?

[@brazax7430]

@@innovativeinnovation6629 Patients at particular risk for developing QT prolongation include patients with Congenital Long QT Syndrome, heart conditions and who are predisposed to having low levels of potassium and magnesium in the blood.

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

Absolutely. There's a really helpful list of medications that cause this. Mine is genetic and I'm extremely limited in the medications I can have.

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

​@@brazax7430That's me. I apparently have two genetic disorders, Vascular EDS and LQTS. I tend to have very low levels of potassium and magnesium, even when I'm taking prescription supplements. It's really frustrating.

I’ve been having weird dizzy like spells when I get exerted, is this a sign?

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

I hope you've had an ECG by now, but as someone with LQTS, I get very dizzy and breathless when I exert myself. But there are many things that can cause that symptom, totally unrelated to your heart. See a doc. 😊

[@chriss6356]

sounds like you should see a doctor asap...if not the emergency room

[@Hanpinky12]

Me too. I would suddenly faint or feel very faint but both after excersise and also just when sat down. I get chest pains and shortness of breath randomly, and I’ve had an ECG which shows I have a long QT.

[@sandramorningstar1177]

@@Hanpinky12 did they say why it could’ve happened? I want to say my issues started 7 months after starting an antipsychotic, even after stopping it ( stopped almost 1y 10m ) I still get those weird symptoms but they never saw anything in the EKGs I’ve had
