What would be your advice to providers who are wary of QTc prolongation after starting an amiodarone load and wish to discontinue it?

Is there a percent change in QTc in which you would consider stopping amiodarone, especially in patients who have baseline wide QRS complexes?

Answer from: at Community Practice

No need to worry about QT prolongation with amiodarone. TdeP is a rare event with this drug and not predictable by QT interval alone.

Mostly agree especially with amio as a monotherapy...
