Abstract
Acquired long-QT syndrome is an iatrogenic disorder, usually induced by drugs, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. We present a case report on an acquired long-QT syndrome with an interesting confluence of circumstances, and comment on aetiology and treatment.
Keywords: HERG gene,; IKr channel; Long-QT syndrome,; Torsades de pointes,.
