Delighted to see our review paper on "Managing drug-induced QT prolongation in clinical practice" published in the @PMJ_BMJ.
This is a practical article that is relevant to all prescribers who prescribe medicines that can affect QT interval. https://pmj.bmj.com/content/early/2020/10/28/postgradmedj-2020-138661

We offer a pragmatic approach on initiating & monitoring
3 key factors to consider:
1) patient-related risk factors
2) potential risk and degree of QT prolongation associated with the proposed drug
3) co-prescribed medicines that could increase the risk of QT prolongation.

To support clinicians, we developed a simple algorithm to help guide clinical management in patients who are at risk of QT prolongation/TdP, those exposed to QT-prolonging medication or have QT prolongation.
