Moxifloxacin qt study
Common Questions and Answers about Moxifloxacin qt study
avelox
A recent study was done to show that Myco was only erradicated by 85% of those on the Azithro regiment described, however Avelox ( Moxifloxacin) killed Myco in all cases. Routine is to try described Azithro regimen first and if symtoms still exist Moxifloxacin. Why? I guess so that Myco doesn't become Moxifloxacin resistant. Save the bugs, kill the patient kind of thing. I say take the 400mg a day X 10 day regiment of Moxifloxacin and help yourself.
sleep apnea, restless leg, and 15 episodes of third degree heart block which occurred during the sleep study. We had been sent back to our pediatric cardiologist (she had previously been diagnosed with moderate prolonged QT). She also has periodic fainting spells with convulsive like movements (EEG's all normal).
Here is my question: Could any of this be due to Chiari I. Should I insist that she be tested for this?
doxycycline, azithromycin and moxifloxacin. The first two failed to clear my infection and now I have two days that I finished the moxifloxacin 400 mg( 10 days treatment) clearing my symptoms. My question is, Is it possible for the bacteria to reoccur after the moxifloxacin treatment? And if yes what other option are there?
In long QT type one, QT interval often prolongs with increased heart rate. It might be the heart rate rather than the atropine itself. It is also important to note that the correction formula for long QT does not work as well at faster heart rates. It is important to actually see the EKG and o the calculations rather than trust the EKG.
Hi, I am a 22 year old male that has been having strange cognitive difficulties for about 7 years now. I got a sleep study done to rule out any sleep problems. My sleep study came back normal except they found something wrong with my heart. Throughout the entire night while I was asleep, I had negative T-waves and prolonged QT interval. Also, I think they said my heart beat was a little on the low side and asked me if I was an athlete.
I understand that anything above 430-440ms is borderline and possibly indicative of long qt syndrome. So, I was just wondering regarding long qt syndrome, if it is what I have and it is a gene inheritance deal is sleeping a trigger of symptoms and problems for people with LQT1 and LQT2, or is that just with the rarer LQT3.? I tend to think I might have LQT1 because I am deaf in one ear.
Anyway I saw cardiologist along with my ECGS and he said two of them had prolonged qt the range was 472/551ms. The other ECGS were in normal limits as far as the QT is concerned. He is not too worried. I had a holter monitor which showed nothing but PVCs (around 100). He is going to send me off to a rhythm specialist. My cardiologist asked me if my family members have long QT syndrome or a history of sudden cardiac death.
HCM was ruled out, as well as any viruses, CPVT, long qt, short qt,brugada and ARVD. With that being said I have some ekgs thar show inverted t waves in V1 and V2, which i talked to my doc and he said its normal in people with incomplete right bundle branch block. It is also a minor criteria, as well as the episode of NSVT, which could be either a major or minor criteria. He said the v tach was monomorphic, so its probably not brugada either.
My holter only shows pac 7 beats and other than that is fine. My qt avg was 383 and qtc avg was 398. My QT max was 467 and QTc max was 480 msec. My percentage of QTc greater than 450 ms was 0%. The other two ekg that I was done about 4 years ago show qt 372 qtc 421 and qt 360 qtc 428. My echo is fine.
Ive noticed alot of people posting about long qt syndrome. It has never been a worry for me simply because I didnt know what it was. But from what ive read and understand about it, it is mostly hereditary, correct? And if my ekgs are normal then I have nothing to worry about? I feel like my cardio usually just glances over the ekg, it is usually laying there when she comes in and she doesnt look at it for very long. But she would know what this looks like by glancing at it right??
Yes, a faster than normal heart rate can skew the EKG. QT and QTc (corrected QT) interval. The QTc diviides heart rate into the QT interval and involves left and right right vetricular contractions.
QT represents the duration of activation and recovery of the ventricular muscle. This duration varies inversely with the heart rate. Since the duration of QT varies inversely with the heart rate, the QT is not used, but rather the corrected QT is.
Hi,
I am a 21 year old male, very physically active (college athlete, cross country and track). I have always had little palpitation related symptoms along with some occasional lightheadedness. About 3 months ago I got a little scared after feeling some of these palpitations while running (which occasionally happened before, but this time it scared me more) I decided to finally have these infrequent symptoms investigated.
echo, ETT, 24 hour tape, cardiac catheterisation, EP study which supposedly showed nothing suggested Long QT but an EP specialist has said that it did apparently during angiogram I had OTc interval in excess of 600ms. Altough in hindsight I had a Reveal device implanted that did show a blip around 7 am in the morning which I never thought much about but now realise that was when my alarm clock went off!!! If these things had been spotted maybe my daughter would still be alive. !!
Cure rates with moxifloxacin are 100% According to some info
I’ve found, and is used after Doxy and az. So id press to get moxifloxacin. moxifloxacin 400 mg daily for 7 to 14 days is the preferred antibiotic regimen.
You need to ask the researchers responsible for your research study. I will be surprised if they are concerned about interference with your OraQuick test, but please let me know if they say otherwise.
You don't describe the nature of your possible exposure to HIV. But barring a surprise from your research team, you can be sure you didn't catch it.
It was the EP dr who read the ekg while I was in his office. He requested that I wear a holter monitor for 24 hours but haven't gotten results back yet. I am assuming no news is good news. Today, I went to my cardio's office for my weekly ekg and QT / QTc intervals was within normal limits. Can QT / QTc intervals be prolonged one time and normal the next time? I have had three prolonged intervals in the past 6 months but also several normal ones.
As you probably know, anti-depressants and antiarrhythmic drugs (class III) has QT prolonging as a side effect. You probably know long QT time increase the risk of a ventricular arrhythmia named Torsades de Pointes.
The list of drugs you cannot use can be found at www.torsades.org if you don't carry the papers with you. Just so you know.
SVT is usually treated with class 2 and 4 antiarrhythmic drugs (beta blockers and calcium channel blockers) that don't prolong the QT time.
But the doctor mentioned that my white blood cell count is slightly higher than normal ( WBC count taken from the swabs, not from my blood work) and mentioned that there might be an infection so she prescribed Avelox (Moxifloxacin), 4 x 400mg once daily.
The background is, I am Chinese male, been with my girlfriend for about a year and both of us have been loyal and we were both asymptomatic before this event.
nothing chronic about it other than the length it went without effective antibiotics. I myself cleared it with Moxifloxacin and Rifampicin My test was repeated negative until I joined a research study for unable to be identified bacterial prostatitis.
now only left moxifloxacin hasnt try, seems to be last resort. this bacteria already bothered me for 6 months, really want to get rid of it.
I have an appointment in about a week with my cardiologist, and before that I plan to make an appointment with the elctrophysiologist that they have at his building. I am going to ask him if he thinks doing a drug study to try to induce Long QT and Brugada would be something we could do to try to further rule those out, or potentially find out that's what I have.
