What Are the Risk Factors for QT Interval Prolongation in Cancer Patients?
Several factors can increase the risk of QT interval prolongation in cancer patients, including: - Pre-existing cardiovascular disease - Electrolyte imbalances (e.g., low potassium or magnesium levels) - Concomitant use of other QT-prolonging medications - Genetic predispositions - Advanced age and certain comorbid conditions
Identifying these risk factors is essential for preventing adverse cardiac events.
