In conclusion, approximately one-fifth of the patients have amiodarone-induced proarrhythmic events, while the incidence of Tdp or ventricular fibrillation is remarkably low. Amiodarone-associated Tdp occurred more frequently in Chinese females. Known predisposing factors for occurrence of Tdp prevailed in Chinese patients. QTc interval prolongation may be an independent risk factor of amiodarone-associated Tdp.
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.
