Drug-induced long-QT syndrome: a case report

摘要

An elderly psychiatric female patient with a long-lasting severe resistant depression was referred for medical examination because of gastrointestinal complaints. The ECG revealed a strongly extended QT interval. No other cardiological abnormalities were observed. The patient's symptoms as well as the QT interval and biochemical abnormalities could be reduced by changing psychiatric drug treatment and reduction of concomitant medication.
