chloroquine and Electrocardiogram QT Prolonged

chloroquine has been researched along with Electrocardiogram QT Prolonged in 24 studies

Chloroquine: The prototypical antimalarial agent with a mechanism that is not well understood. It has also been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and in the systemic therapy of amebic liver abscesses.
chloroquine : An aminoquinoline that is quinoline which is substituted at position 4 by a [5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl]amino group at at position 7 by chlorine. It is used for the treatment of malaria, hepatic amoebiasis, lupus erythematosus, light-sensitive skin eruptions, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In fact, two of the actually used drugs against SARS-CoV2, such as chloroquine and the combination lopinavir/ritonavir, might determine a QT (the time from the start of the Q wave to the end of the T wave) interval prolongation and they show several interactions with antiarrhythmic drugs and antipsychotic medications, making them prone to an increased risk of developing arrhythmias."5.12COVID-19 and the burning issue of drug interaction: never forget the ECG. ( Cameli, M; Cameli, P; Franchi, F; Mandoli, GE; Menci, D; Mondillo, S; Sciaccaluga, C; Sisti, N; Valente, S, 2021)
"Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are used extensively in malaria and rheumatological conditions, and now in COVID-19 prevention and treatment."3.96Concentration-dependent mortality of chloroquine in overdose. ( Baud, FJ; Clemessy, JL; Hoglund, RM; Megarbane, B; Tarning, J; Watson, JA; White, NJ, 2020)
" The choice of (typically subtherapeutic) dosing regimens, influenced partly by "QT-phobia," varied widely and seems anecdotal without any pharmacologically reliable supporting clinical evidence."2.72Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19: Perspectives on their failure in repurposing. ( Shah, RR, 2021)
" Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) (>13 million total reports) were used."1.62Safety signals for QT prolongation or Torsades de Pointes associated with azithromycin with or without chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine.
