Overview
Laborotory tests obtained in a person with torsade de pointes will vary depending on the most likely etiology for their arrhythmia. Cardiac enzymes and levels of potassium, magnesium and calcium should be obtained.
Laboratory Findings
- Electrolytes levels to rule out hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia.
- Cardiac enzymes
- Drug levels for medications that cause torsades at toxic levels.
