A case of torsade de pointes with normal QT interval secondary to the administration of small amounts of doxepin is presented. Electrophysiological studies during rechallenge with doxepin demonstrated replication of the patient's spontaneous arrhythmia. Evaluation of syncope in patients taking doxepin should include careful evaluation for torsade de pointes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
