Overview
Torsades de pointes should be differentiated from other conditions or disorders that may present in a similar way, such as other arrhythmias, drug toxicity, syncope and other cardiac conditions.
Differential Diagnosis
- Ventricular Tachycardia (polymorphic, monomorphic)
- Supraventricular tachycardia
- Ventricular Fibrillation
- Sudden Cardiac Death
- Syncope
- Renal Failure
- Complication dialysis
- Drug toxicity like antiarrhythmic, antihistaminics
The table below provides information on the differential diagnosis of torsades de pointes in terms of ECG appearance:
