candesartan and Long QT Syndrome

candesartan has been researched along with Long QT Syndrome in 2 studies

candesartan: a nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist
candesartan : A benzimidazolecarboxylic acid that is 1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylic acid substituted by an ethoxy group at position 2 and a ({2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl}methyl) group at position 1. It is a angiotensin receptor antagonist used for the treatment of hypertension.

Long QT Syndrome: A condition that is characterized by episodes of fainting (SYNCOPE) and varying degree of ventricular arrhythmia as indicated by the prolonged QT interval. The inherited forms are caused by mutation of genes encoding cardiac ion channel proteins. The two major forms are ROMANO-WARD SYNDROME and JERVELL-LANGE NIELSEN SYNDROME.

"We investigated the efficacy of carvedilol for preventing the recurrence of atrial fibrillation and reducing QT prolongation induced by bepridil."9.17Carvedilol is effective and safe in combination with bepridil for persistent atrial fibrillation and decreases the QT prolongation induced by bepridil therapy.
