Yandex money: 410013784474520 Torsades de pointes is a specific form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in patients with a long QT interval. It is characterized by rapid, irregular QRS complexes, which appear to be twisting around the electrocardiogram (ECG) baseline. This arrhythmia may cease spontaneously or degenerate into ventricular fibrillation. It causes significant hemodynamic compromise and often death. Diagnosis is by ECG. Treatment is with IV magnesium, measures to shorten the QT interval, and direct-current defibrillation when ventricular fibrillation is precipitated. #torsadesdepointes #qtinterval #arrhythmias Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, FESC.
