The link between sudden unexplained death in individuals with mental health problems who are administered antipsychotic drugs has been recognised for over a century.1 A clear relationship has emerged over the past 25 years between antipsychotic drugs, prolongation of the QT interval of the ECG, atypical polymorphic tachycardia known as torsade de pointes (TdP) and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Since its initial description by Jervell and Lange-Nielsen in 1957,1 congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) has been the most investigated cardiac ion channelopathy. A prolonged QT interval on the surface ECG is a surrogate measure of prolonged ventricular action potential duration (APD). Congenital as well as acquired alterations in certain cardiac ion channels can affect their currents in such a… View more

Sudden unexplained death syndrome (SUDS)1 is rare in the young but when it occurs it is devastating for family and friends, and affects whole communities. That it can affect fit, athletic individuals and may be related to competitive sports only adds to the sense of incomprehension and injustice felt by wider society. In comparison with the older population, where sudden death is more common and… View more
