Seong Hyeon BuSung Hwan KimPublished in: Case reports in cardiology (2022)
We report a case of excessive QT prolongation and subsequent torsades de pointes (TdP) following the administration of ticagrelor in a 58-year-old male patient. The patient had no suspected cause of QT prolongation. After cessation of ticagrelor, QT interval was normalized and no further TdP was observed.
