Item 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation(Elsevier, 2024) Joglar, José A.; Chung, Mina K.; Armbruster, Anastasia L.; Benjamin, Emelia J.; Chyou, Janice Y.; Cronin, Edmond M.; Deswal, Anita; Eckhardt, Lee L.; Goldberger, Zachary D.; Gopinathannair, Rakesh; Gorenek, Bulent; Hess, Paul L.; Hlatky, Mark; Hogan, Gail; Ibeh, Chinwe; Indik, Julia H.; Kido, Kazuhiko; Kusumoto, Fred; Link, Mark S.; Linta, Kathleen T.; Marcus, Gregory M.; McCarthy, Patrick M.; Patel, Nimesh; Patton, Kristen K.; Perez, Marco V.; Piccini, Jonathan P.; Russo, Andrea M.; Sanders, Prashanthan; Streur, Megan M.; Thomas, Kevin L.; Times, Sabrina; Tisdale, James E.; Valente, Anne Marie; Van Wagoner, David R.; Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of MedicineAim: The "2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation" provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted from May 12, 2022, to November 3, 2022, encompassing studies, reviews, and other evidence conducted on human subjects that were published in English from PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and other selected databases relevant to this guideline. Additional relevant studies, published through November 2022, during the guideline writing process, were also considered by the writing committee and added to the evidence tables, where appropriate. Structure: Atrial fibrillation is the most sustained common arrhythmia, and its incidence and prevalence are increasing in the United States and globally. Recommendations from the "2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation" and the "2019 AHA/ACC/HRS Focused Update of the 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation" have been updated with new evidence to guide clinicians. In addition, new recommendations addressing atrial fibrillation and thromboembolic risk assessment, anticoagulation, left atrial appendage occlusion, atrial fibrillation catheter or surgical ablation, and risk factor modification and atrial fibrillation prevention have been developed.Item Allongement de l’intervalle QT causé par des médicaments chez l’enfant : comment vont les enfants?(Canadian Society Of Hospital Pharmacists, 2016-05) Tisdale, James E.; Department of Medicine, IU School of MedicineItem Arrhythmias in Patients With Heart Failure Prescribed Dofetilide or Sotalol(Elsevier, 2024-11-07) Huang, Chien-Yu; Overholser, Brian R.; Sowinski, Kevin M.; Jaynes, Heather A.; Kovacs, Richard J.; Tisdale, James E.; Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: Heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a risk factor for drug-induced arrhythmias. It is unknown whether HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) also increases the risk. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine if the risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is increased in patients with HFpEF prescribed dofetilide or sotalol. Methods: Using Medicare claims and pharmacy benefits from 2014 to 2016, we identified patients taking dofetilide or sotalol and non-dofetilide/sotalol users among 3 groups: HFrEF (n = 26,176), HFpEF (n = 33,304), and no HF (n = 580,249). Multinomial propensity score matching was performed. We compared baseline characteristics using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel statistics and standardized differences, and tested associations of VT and SCA among dofetilide/sotalol users and those with HFpEF, HFrEF, or no HF using a generalized Cox proportional hazards model. Results: VT and SCA occurred 166 (10.68%) and 16 (1.03%) of 1,554 dofetilide/sotalol users with HFpEF, 543 (38.76%) and 40 (2.86%) of 1,401 dofetilide/sotalol users with HFrEF, and 245 (5.06%) and 13 (0.27%) of 4,839 dofetilide/sotalol users without HF. Overall VT risk was increased in HFrEF and HFpEF patients (HR: 7.00 [95% CI: 6.10-8.02] and 1.99 [95% CI: 1.70-2.32], respectively). The risk of VT in patients prescribed dofetilide/sotalol was increased in HFrEF and HFpEF patients (1.53 [95% CI: 1.07-2.20] and 2.34 [95% CI: 1.11-4.95], respectively). While the overall SCA risk was increased in HFrEF and HFpEF patients (5.19 [95% CI: 4.10-6.57] and 2.53 [95% CI: 1.98-3.23], respectively), dofetilide/sotalol use was not associated with an increased SCA risk. Conclusions: In patients with HF who are prescribed dofetilide or sotalol, the risk of VT, but not SCA, was increased.Item Association of QT interval-prolonging drugs with clinical trial eligibility in patients with advanced cancer(Frontiers Media, 2022-12-15) Rowe, Elizabeth J.; Shugg, Tyler; Ly, Reynold C.; Philips, Santosh; Rosenman, Marc B.; Callaghan, John T.; Radovich, Milan; Overholser, Brian R.; Schneider, Bryan P.; Tisdale, James E.; Skaar, Todd C.; Medicine, School of MedicineIntroduction: Drug-induced prolongation of the heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) is associated with increased risk for the potentially fatal arrhythmia torsades de pointes. Due to arrhythmia risk, clinical trials with cancer therapeutics often exclude patients based on thresholds for QTc prolongation. Our objective was to assess associations between prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs and the odds of meeting cancer trial exclusionary QTc thresholds in a cohort of adults with advanced cancer. Methods: Electronic health records were retrospectively reviewed for 271 patients seen at our institutional molecular solid tumor clinic. Collected data included demographics, QTc measurements, ventricular arrhythmia-related diagnoses, and all inpatient and outpatient prescriptions. Potential associations were assessed between demographic and clinical variables, including prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs, and QTc measurements. Results: Women had longer median QTc measurements than men (p = 0.030) and were prescribed more QT-prolonging drugs during the study (p = 0.010). In all patients, prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs were associated with longer median and maximum QTc measurements at multiple assessed time points (i.e., for QT-prolonging drugs prescribed within 10, 30, 60, and 90 days of QTc measurements). Similarly, the number of QT-prolonging drugs prescribed was correlated with longer median and maximum QTc measurements at multiple time points. Common QTc-related exclusionary criteria were collected from a review of ClinicalTrials.gov for recent cancer clinical trials. Based on common exclusion criteria, prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs increased the odds of trial exclusion. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs were associated with longer QTc measurements and increased odds of being excluded from cancer clinical trials.Item Clinician Responses to a Clinical Decision Support Advisory for High Risk of Torsades de Pointes(American Heart Association, 2022) Gallo, Tyler; Heise, C. William; Woosley, Raymond L.; Tisdale, James E.; Tan, Malinda S.; Gephart, Sheila M.; Antonescu, Corneliu C.; Malone, Daniel C.; Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: Torsade de pointes (TdP) is a potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia that is often drug induced. Clinical decision support (CDS) may help minimize TdP risk by guiding decision making in patients at risk. CDS has been shown to decrease prescribing of high‐risk medications in patients at risk of TdP, but alerts are often ignored. Other risk‐management options can potentially be incorporated in TdP risk CDS. Our goal was to evaluate actions clinicians take in response to a CDS advisory that uses a modified Tisdale QT risk score and presents management options that are easily selected (eg, single click). Methods and Results: We implemented an inpatient TdP risk advisory systemwide across a large health care system comprising 30 hospitals. This CDS was programmed to appear when prescribers attempted ordering medications with a known risk of TdP in a patient with a QT risk score ≥12. The CDS displayed patient‐specific information and offered relevant management options including canceling offending medications and ordering electrolyte replacement protocols or ECGs. We retrospectively studied the actions clinicians took within the advisory and separated by drug class. During an 8‐month period, 7794 TdP risk advisories were issued. Antibiotics were the most frequent trigger of the advisory (n=2578, 33.1%). At least 1 action was taken within the advisory window for 2700 (34.6%) of the advisories. The most frequent action taken was ordering an ECG (n=1584, 20.3%). Incoming medication orders were canceled in 793 (10.2%) of the advisories. The frequency of each action taken varied by drug class (P<0.05 for all actions). Conclusions: A modified Tisdale QT risk score–based CDS that offered relevant single‐click management options yielded a high action/response rate. Actions taken by clinicians varied depending on the class of the medication that evoked the TdP risk advisory, but the most frequent was ordering an ECG.Item Correlates of palpitations during menopause: A scoping review(Sage, 2022) Carpenter, Janet S.; Sheng, Ying; Pike, Caitlin; Elomba, Charles D.; Alwine, Jennifer S.; Chen, Chen X.; Tisdale, James E.; School of NursingObjective: Palpitations during peri- and post-menopause are common. It is unclear what variables are related to palpitations in peri- and post-menopausal women. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize potential correlates of palpitations in women transitioning through menopause. Methods: The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Authors included English-language, full-length, peer-reviewed, cross-sectional research articles on palpitations in menopausal women published through December 18, 2021, from PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and PsycINFO searches. Following de-duplication, screening of titles and abstracts, and review of full-texts, independent reviewers extracted data on variables studied in relationship to palpitations from 84 articles and resolved discrepancies. Authors extracted data on (1) demographic, clinical, biomarker, and symptom/quality of life variables and (2) data analysis method (bivariate, multivariate). Authors classified each variable as a likely, unlikely, or unclear correlate of palpitations. Results: Articles were diverse in region of origin, sample sizes, and variables assessed in relationship to palpitations. Evidence for any one variable was sparse. Likely correlates of palpitations included race/ethnicity, lower physical activity, worse vasomotor symptoms (VMSs), worse sleep, and worse quality of life. Unlikely correlates included age, employment, education, marital status, socioeconomic status, comorbidities, body mass index, and sexual difficulties. Unclear correlates due to equivocal evidence were menopausal status, smoking, and depression. Unclear correlates due to insufficient evidence (less than three articles) included all of the assessed biomarkers, anxiety, and stress. Conclusion: Likely correlates were identified including race/ethnicity, physical activity, VMS, sleep, and quality of life. However, additional research is needed to better understand potential correlates of palpitations.Item Drug Interactions Affecting Oral Anticoagulant Use(American Heart Association, 2022) Mar, Philip L.; Gopinathannair, Rakesh; Gengler, Brooke E.; Chung, Mina K.; Perez, Arturo; Dukes, Jonathan; Ezekowitz, Michael D.; Lakkireddy, Dhanunjaya; Lip, Gregory Y. H.; Miletello, Mike; Noseworthy, Peter A.; Reiffel, James; Tisdale, James E.; Olshansky, Brian; American Heart Association Electrocardiography & Arrhythmias Committee of the Council of Clinical Cardiology; Medicine, School of MedicineOral anticoagulants (OAC) are medications commonly used in patients with atrial fibrillation and other cardiovascular conditions. Both warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are susceptible to drug-drug interactions (DDI). DDI are an important cause of adverse drug reactions and exact a large toll on the healthcare system. DDI for warfarin mainly involve moderate to strong inhibitors / inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9, which is responsible for the elimination of the more potent S-isomer of warfarin. However, inhibitor / inducers of CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 may also cause DDI with warfarin. Recognition of these precipitating agents along with increased frequency of monitoring when these agents are initiated or discontinued will minimize the impact of warfarin DDI. DOAC DDI are mainly affected by medications strongly affecting the permeability glycoprotein (P-gp), and to a lesser extent, strong CYP3A4 inhibitors / inducers. Dabigatran and edoxaban are affected by P-gp modulation. Strong inducers of CYP3A4 or P-gp should be avoided in all patients taking DOAC unless previously proven to be otherwise safe. Simultaneous strong CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitors should be avoided in patients taking apixaban and rivaroxaban. Concomitant antiplatelet / anticoagulant use confers additive risk for bleeding, but their combination is unavoidable in many cases. Minimizing duration of concomitant anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy as indicated by evidence-based clinical guidelines is the best way to reduce the risk of bleeding.Item Drug-induced atrial fibrillation(Springer Nature, 2012-08-20) Kaakeh, Yaman; Overholser, Brian R.; Lopshire, John C.; Tisdale, James E.; Medicine, School of MedicineAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia that is associated with severe consequences, including symptoms, haemodynamic instability, increased cardiovascular mortality and stroke. While other arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes and sinus bradycardia are more typically thought of as drug induced, AF may also be precipitated by drug therapy, although ascribing causality to drug-associated AF is more difficult than with other drug-induced arrhythmias. Drug-induced AF is more likely to occur in patients with risk factors and co-morbidities that commonly co-exist with AF, such as advanced age, alcohol consumption, family history of AF, hypertension, thyroid dysfunction, sleep apnoea and heart disease. New-onset AF has been associated with cardiovascular drugs such as adenosine, dobutamine and milrinone. In addition, medications such as corticosteroids, ondansetron and antineoplastic agents such as paclitaxel, mitoxantrone and doxorubicin have been reported to induce AF. Whether bisphosphonate drugs are associated with new-onset AF remains controversial and requires further study. The potential contribution of specific drug therapy should be considered when patients present with new-onset AF.Item Drug-Induced QT Interval Prolongation in Children: Are the Kids Alright?(Canadian Society Of Hospital Pharmacists, 2016-05) Tisdale, James E.; Department of Medicine, IU School of MedicineItem Efavirenz inhibits the human ether-a-go-go related current (hERG) and induces QT interval prolongation in CYP2B6*6*6 allele carriers(Wiley, 2016-10) Abdelhady, Ahmed M.; Shugg, Tyler; Thong, Nancy; Li Lu, Jessica Bo; Kreutz, Yvonne; Jaynes, Heather A.; Robarge, Jason D.; Tisdale, James E.; Desta, Zeruesenay; Overholser, Brian R.; Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of MedicineBackground Efavirenz (EFV) has been associated with torsade de pointes despite marginal QT interval lengthening. Since EFV is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6 enzyme, we hypothesized that EFV would lengthen the rate-corrected QT (QTcF) interval in carriers of the CYP2B6*6 decreased functional allele. Objective The primary objective of this study was to evaluate EFV-associated QT interval changes with regard to CYP2B6 genotype and to explore mechanisms of QT interval lengthening. Methods EFV was administered to healthy volunteers (n=57) as a single 600 mg dose followed by multiple doses to steady-state. Subjects were genotyped for known CYP2B6 alleles and ECGs and EFV plasma concentrations were obtained serially. Whole-cell, voltage-clamp experiments were performed on cells stably expressing hERG and exposed to EFV in the presence and absence of CYP2B6 expression. Results EFV demonstrated a gene-dose effect and exceeded the FDA criteria for QTcF interval prolongation in CYP2B6*6/*6 carriers. The largest mean time-matched differences ΔΔQTcF were observed at 6 hrs (14 ms; 95% CI [1; 27]), 12 hrs (18 ms; 95% CI [−4; 40] and 18 hrs (6 ms; 95% CI [−1; 14]) in the CYP2B6*6/*6 genotype. EFV concentrations exceeding 0.4 µg/mL significantly inhibited outward hERG tail currents (P<0.05). Conclusions This study demonstrates that homozygous carriers of CYP2B6*6 allele may be at increased risk for EFV-induced QTcF interval prolongation via inhibition of hERG.
