Effect of the antimalarial drug halofantrine in the long QT syndrome due to a mutation of the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A. The American journal of cardiology, 2001, Apr-01, Volume: 87, Issue:7 Topics: Adolescent; Adult; Amino Acid Sequence; Antimalarials; Electrocardiography; Female; Humans; Long QT Syndrome; Male; Molecular Sequence Data; Mutation; NAV1.5 Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel; Pedigree; Phenanthrenes; Sodium Channels; Tachycardia, Ventricular	2001
Provocation of ventricular tachycardia by antimalarial drug halofantrine in congenital long QT syndrome. Clinical cardiology, 1994, Volume: 17, Issue:7 This report deals with two patients who suffered sustained episodes of torsade de pointes ventricular tachycardia while using the novel antimalarial drug halofantrine. Both patients had congenital long QT syndrome, and their QT interval was further prolonged at the time of the event. This first electrocardiographic documentation of ventricular arrhythmias together with halofantrine's known prolonging effect on the QT interval demonstrates that the drug has the potential to induce life-threatening arrhythmias. Topics: Adolescent; Adult; Antimalarials; Electrocardiography; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Long QT Syndrome; Male; Phenanthrenes; Syncope; Tachycardia, Ventricular; Torsades de Pointes	1994
