Abstract
This case report describes a 68-year-old woman presenting with flecainide induced syncope due to torsades de pointes (TP) ventricular tachycardia. Before TP onset, the QTc interval reached 680 ms without changes in QRS duration. None of the usual triggers were found. Prolongation of QT under flecaïnide is exceptional and the occurrence of TP without concurrent triggers has not been reported in the literature.Entities:
