Despite that drugs have widely varying indications for therapeutic use, many unrelated drugs share a common cardiac pharmacologic effect if taken in overdose. The purpose of this article is to group together agents that cause similar electrocardiographic effects,review their pharmacologic actions, and discuss the electrocardiographic findings reported in the medical literature.

The impact of Celiac Disease (CD) is not only limited to the intestinal system, but extraintestinal manifestations may also be seen. In this context, cardiac manifestations have recently been the focus of attention. This study aimed to evaluate myocardial repolarization properties in CD patients by assessing the frontal QRS-T Angle (fQRS-T) on electrocardiography (ECG).

Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide, leading to multi-organ involvement and significant morbidity. Cardiovascular manifestations, particularly arrhythmias, are common and pose a considerable risk to affected individuals. This overview examines current approaches to arrhythmic risk stratification in AFD, focusing on the identification, assessment, and management of cardiac arrhythmias associated with the disease.

Background: Pompe disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase. This condition leads to muscle weakness, respiratory problems, and heart abnormalities in affected individuals.
Methods: The aim of the study is to share our experience through cross sectional study of patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) with different genetic variations, resulting in diverse clinical presentations.

Purpose Of Review: This paper reviewed the current literature on incidence, clinical manifestations, and risk factors of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) cardiotoxicity.
Recent Findings: CAR-T therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for hematological malignancies since FDA approval in 2017. CAR-T therapy is however associated with a few side effects, among which cardiotoxicity is of significant concern.
