Possible Causes

Tonsillitis

Torsades de pointes is associated with a prolonged QT interval, which may be congenital or acquired.[1, 2] Torsades de pointes is usually not sustained and terminates spontaneously [patient.info]

Torsades de Pointes is triggered by a PVC occurring on a preceding T wave. The onset of Torsades de Pointes is often preceded by a run of short-long-short R-R intervals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Most cases of torsades de pointes resolve on their own without treatment. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Cardiac Arrhythmia

The authors report the cases of three patients who developed torsades de pointes arrhythmia or lengthening of the Q-T interval during treatment with intravenous haloperidol [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

During the arrest and over the subsequent 48 hours, malignant tachyarrhythmias were manifested by torsade de pointe and repeated episodes of ventricular fibrillation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
