New-Onset QT Prolongation and Torsades De Pointes Accompanied by Left Ventricular Dysfunction Secondary to Acute Pancreatitis

A 70‐year‐old woman presented with acute pancreatitis and new‐onset QT prolongation with subsequent torsades de pointes. Coronary catheterization was performed and was unremarkable. After persistent QT prolongation, despite temporary atrial pacing, a permanent dual chamber cardioverter defibrillator...

Zusammenfassung:	A 70‐year‐old woman presented with acute pancreatitis and new‐onset QT prolongation with subsequent torsades de pointes. Coronary catheterization was performed and was unremarkable. After persistent QT prolongation, despite temporary atrial pacing, a permanent dual chamber cardioverter defibrillator was implanted. In addition to the QT prolongation, significant depression in the left ventricular function was noted. Both resolved once the pancreatitis abated. (PACE 2003; 26:1765–1768)
