Documented Sudden Cardiac Death in Prolonged QT Syndrome

Stephen C. Vlay, MD; George I. Mallis, MD; Edward J. Brown, Jr, MD; Peter F. Cohn, MD

Arch Intern Med. 1984;144(4):833-835.


Abstract

• Documentation of the mechanism of sudden death is described in a patient with a prolonged QT interval. Ventricular tachycardia was initiated by a ventricular premature beat (VPB) with a prematurity index similar to previous isolated VPBs. This event occurred despite the fact that the patient was receiving phenytoin sodium, a drug known to shorten the QT interval.
