Here, we report the case of an HIV infected patient that was treated for pneumonia with a macrolid antibiotic. The patient experienced a prolongation of the already pathologic QTc interval resulting in repeated torsades de pointes necessitating CPR and implantation of an AICD. This case exemplifies that torsades de pointes due to acquired long QT syndrome is a serious and potentially fatal complication in HIV-positive patients.

Valve Replacement Surgery

Acquired long QT syndrome (aLQTS) can occur in up to one third of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is often undisclosed. We present a case of a 55-year-old male patient admitted to our center for mitral valve replacement surgery, and, during the postoperative period, a long QT greater than 600 ms was confirmed and in the Holter monitoring Torsade de Pointes (TdP) was evidenced. The patient received appropriate medical treatment and was discharge in stable clinical conditions.
