Should QT-prolonging drugs be prescribed to type 1 diabetic patients? The mechanisms for QT-prolongation during hyperglycaemia are not well understood. As poorly controlled blood glucose levels are common in patients with Type 1 diabetes, it is important to understand how QT-prolonging drugs will act during episodes of hyperglycaemia. The research at the Richmond Research Institute suggests there is an additive effect of hyperglycaemia and medication on the QT-interval. Therefore, caution should

What is the QT interval, and what is the concern over it being prolonged? Let's get into some physiology, some cardiology, and some electrophysiology, and mix it up to create some cardioelectrophysiology and see what all this is about. #Paramedicbook #paramedicsoffacebook #medicsoffacebook #medicbook #emtsoffacebook #emsbook #Paramedic #paramedics #firstresponders #firstresponderbook #firstrespondersoffacebook #firefighterbook #firefightersoffacebook #paramedicstudent #emtstudent #emergencymedic
