Article Synopsis
- A study involving 2,403 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Iran investigated the risks of QTc prolongation and torsade de pointes (TdP) associated with various repurposed drugs used for treatment.
- The primary findings indicated that 11.2% of patients experienced critical QTc prolongation and 0.38% experienced TdP, with higher risks linked to certain factors like female gender and specific medications.
- The study concluded that while significant QT prolongation was observed with the medications, serious arrhythmias like TdP were infrequent, particularly with hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir-ritonavir.
Comparison between rosuvastatin and atorvastatin for the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

There is some controversy over the efficacy of statins for the prevention of contrastinduced nephropathy (CIN). There have also been reports on varying efficacies of different statins. Hence, in this study the efficacy of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin for the prevention of CIN was assessed.

Injuries of the coronary artery after blunt chest trauma are caused by different mechanisms such as vascular spasm, dissection and intimal tear or rupture of an existing thrombus formation. Chest pain might be masked by other injuries in patients with multiple traumas in car accident.

QTd reflects inhomogeneity in repolarization of ventricular myocardium and because of easy and fast measurement of QTd, it can be used to predict high-risk patients for dysrhythmia after Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of thrombolytic therapy on QTd before and 1 hour and 4 days after beginning of thrombolytic therapy.
