isoflurane and Long QT Syndrome

isoflurane has been researched along with Long QT Syndrome in 14 studies

Isoflurane: A stable, non-explosive inhalation anesthetic, relatively free from significant side effects.

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.

"In female patients pretreated with anthracyclines for breast cancer, the tendency to QTc prolongation during isoflurane-containing general anaesthesia was more strongly expressed than in patients without previous chemotherapy."7.72Is prolongation of the QTc interval during isoflurane anaesthesia more prominent in women pretreated with anthracyclines for breast cancer? ( Owczuk, R; Sawicka, W; Swierblewski, M; Wujtewicz, M; Wujtewicz, MA, 2004)
" In order to study the effects of anesthetic agents on the inducibility of TdP, arrhythmias were induced by programmed electrical stimulation (PES) before and after cumulative intravenous administration of quinidine under anesthesia with sodium pentobarbital, halothane, or isoflurane."7.71Acute canine model for drug-induced Torsades de Pointes in drug safety evaluation-influences of anesthesia and validation with quinidine and astemizole. ( Imai, R; Tamura, T; Yamamoto, K; Yamamoto, M, 2001)
" In the patient described in this article, heart block occurred and the Q-Tc interval became prolonged after muscle relaxant reversal with neostigmine; both were considered to be related to the combination of agents used in the case, as well as to other predisposing factors such as morbid obesity."4.84Heart block and prolonged Q-Tc interval following muscle relaxant reversal: a case report.
