Ventricular arrhythmia and Torsade de pointes

Summary:

Torsade de pointes is found among people with Ventricular arrhythmia, especially for people who are female, 60+ old.

The study analyzes which people have Torsade de pointes with Ventricular arrhythmia. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 60 people who have Ventricular arrhythmia from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is updated regularly. You can use the study as a second opinion to make health care decisions.
