Several studies also reported the association between azithromycin QT prolongation. Patients with particular cardiovascular conditions such as low blood potassium, magnesium levels, Acute coronary syndrome etc.…& and use of certain type of drugs can cause QT prolongation and Torsade’s de points. This review tells regard the management of QT prolongation caused by Azithromycin and the alternative choice of drugs for azithromycin

QT interval Prolongation, Torsade’s de points, ventricular arrhythmias, ventricular repolarization, Azithromycin Syndrome.
