I'm not good at trying to type phonetically, but torsades is just like it looks: Tors-ahd (never pronounce the "e" nor the "s"). It's pointes that is the weird part. It is pronounced like "pwa-nt".

It is "AWL"-doh.
cochon - kosh-on. de lait - der lay
I think Kate's a bit obvious of how to pronounce. But 'DiCamillo' is pronounced D-Ka-Me-O

Torsades de pointes is primarily associated with low magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia) and low potassium levels (hypokalemia). Both of these electrolyte imbalances can lead to prolonged QT interval and increased susceptibility to this type of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Correcting these electrolyte levels is crucial in managing and preventing torsades de pointes.
TdP looks like a twisting, turning V-tach-the translation is "twisted points"
When giving potassium, it can prolong the QT interval on an ECG, potentially leading to a risk of developing potentially fatal arrhythmias such as Torsades de Pointes. Monitoring electrolyte levels and ECG changes is essential to prevent any adverse cardiac effects.

The relative refractory period of the T wave represents a vulnerable period in the cardiac cycle during which a premature beat can trigger an arrhythmia, such as Torsades de Pointes. This period occurs during the repolarization phase, when the myocardium is in a state of partial recovery but not fully refractory.
Hypocalcemia can lead to a prolongation of the cardiac action potential due to reduced calcium influx. This can result in an increased risk of arrhythmias, as well as potential impairment of cardiac muscle contractility.
