Torsades de pointes (TdP) is a malignant polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia that can be caused by drugs that induce ellectrophysiological changes. Although the number of drugs known to cause TO has increased in recent years, there is no cell-based assay, in vitro heart preparation or animal model that predicts the potential of a drug to induce TdP in humans. Nevertheless, certain electrophysiological events are known to be associated with the development of TdP. For example, a drug that prolongs action potential duration, induces early after depolarizations and ectopic beats, and increases dispersion of ventricular repolarization is likely to cause TdP. By contrast, a drug that does not induce these changes is unlikely to cause TdP. The exact relationship between these electrophysiological events and the development of TdP has not been defined, but the potential of a drug to elicit these events might predict its pro-arrhythmic risk.
