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.

What effect does hypocalcemia have on the cardiac action potential?
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.
How does a compass rose look like?
A compass rose typically looks like a starburst design with cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and intermediate directions (northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest) marked on it. It is used on maps to indicate the orientation of the map and help with navigation.
What is prolonged QT syndrome?
Prolonged QT syndrome is a heart condition where the electrical activity of the heart is affected, causing a delay in the repolarization of the ventricles. This delay can lead to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that can be life-threatening, such as torsades de pointes. It can be inherited or acquired through certain medications or medical conditions.

How do you pronounce Torsades de pointes?
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".
What does torsades de Pointes look like?
TdP looks like a twisting, turning V-tach-the translation is "twisted points"
What rhythm strip change when give potassium?
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.
What does the relative refractory period of the T wave represent?
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.
What effect does hypocalcemia have on the cardiac action potential?
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.
What does les pointes mean in French?
"les pointes" are the prongs (of a fork), the tip (of the toes, of the iceberg), or a protruding, pointy end of something.

What is the rhythm torsades de pointes from?
Torsades de Pointes is a very dangerous condition that can lead to irregular heartbeats, which can lead to lightheadedness or passing out, and even death. It is caused by a delay in what is called the "Q-T interval". This is the time it takes the heart to beat, then recover and become ready for another beat. A prolonged QT interval may be inherited, caused by some medications, or low levels of certain electrolytes. If you experience heart palpitations, episodes of lightheadedness, bouts of rapid heart rate, you must see your doctor for an EKG. You might have undiagnosed genetic prolongation of your QT interval, and you will need close monitoring. If you have a chronic health condition such as liver or kidney disease, you may have rapid changes in your electrolyte levels which may lead to a prolonged QT interval. Electrolytes typically involved are Potassium and Magnesium. Of note, bouts of diarrhea will lower your Potassium levels. If you have diarrhea for longer than two days, you should consult with your doctor to check your electrolytes. Using Sports drinks while you have diarrhea may be helpful. This does not apply to individuals with a chronic illness. If you are ever told that you have a "long QT interval", you must take this very seriously, and not miss any appointments with your doctor or a specialist for further evaluations.
