Translations:Torsades de Pointes - Tachkardie/6/en

To prevent the recurrence of TdP, tachycardia of the basic rhythm, to shorten the repolarization period, with pacemaker stimulation is the method of choice. The pacemaker frequency is increased until TdP no longer occurs. This can make a stimulation frequency of up to 120/min necessary in individual cases. Alternatively, an isoproterenolperfusor with the aim of tachycardization can be attempted. However, this therapy regime harbours specific dangers such as circulatory shock caused by proarrhythmia, which is particularly prevalent when there is a replacement rhythm with broad chamber complexes. "Here extreme caution would be required in titrating the correct dose.
