In recent years, several cases of torsade de pointes have been associated with many opioids. However, to present no cases have been reported with tramadol. Objective: To evaluate the effect of tramadol on QT-interval in the clinical setting. Research Design and Methods: Medical history and comorbidities predisposing to QT interval prolongation were registered for patients requiring medical assistance that involved tramadol administration. Ionograms and ECGs were performed at baseline and intratreatment; QT interval was analyzed after correction with Bazzet, Fridericia, Framinghan and Hogdes formula. Results: 115 patients were studied (50.4% males) All patients had received tramadol 150-400 mg/day during 3.0-5.0 days at the moment of intratreatment control. Plasma concentrations of tramadol were 201-1613 ng/mL. Intratreatment electrocardiographic control, as mean + SD (range), showed QTcB 372+32 (305 to 433), QTcFri 356+37 (281 to 429), QTcFra 363 +/- 33 (299 to 429), QTcH 362 +/- 30 (304 to 427), Delta QTcB 26 +/- 40 (-73 to 110), Delta QTcFri 24 +/- 48 (-97 to 121), Delta QTcFra 22 +/- 42 (-81 to 109) and Delta QTcH 22 +/- 38 (-68 to 110) ms. QTc interval presents high correlation with plasma tramadol concentrations (for Delta QTc, R>0.77). Renal failure was associated with a relative risk for Delta QTc > 30 ms of 1.90 (IC95% 1.31-2.74) and for Delta QTc > 60 ms of 4.74 (IC95% 2.57-8.74). No patient had evidence of arrhythmia during the present study. Conclusion: Tramadol produces QTc interval prolongation in good correlation with plasma drug concentrations; renal failure is a risk factor for higher concentration and QT prolongation by tramadol.
