Diagnosis
- QTc >440 (male), >460 (female)
- >500 = real concern (may result in torsades)

Treatment
Pause Dependent (precipitated by bradycard)
- Unstable/sustained torsades--> defibrilation (unsynchronized)
- Stable
- Treat underlying prob
- Increase HR (isoproterenol or overdrive pacing)
- Magnesium sulfate IV
- Consider amiodarone
Adrenergic Dependent (precipited by tachycardia)
- Unstable/sustained torsades--> defibrilation (unsynchronized)
- Stable
- Slow HR (B-blockers)
- May consider magnesium sulfate
