Roles of Atrial Arrhythmias in Triggering Torsade de Pointes in Patients With Acquired Long QT Syndrome
AAs play a key role in triggering TdP in more than half of patients with acute acquired LQTS and can increase TdP frequency after initiating therapy. Thus, AAs are not benign but rather can be life-threatening in patients with acute acquired LQTS.
