Add to ORKGhypokalemia, unrecognized congen-ital long Q-T syndrome (LQTS), and predisposing DNA polymor-phisms.1,2 These risk factors have not been studied in patients receiving methadone, a drug associated with Q-Tc interval prolongation, with a dose–effect relationship.2,3 Also, drug-induced Q-Tc prolongation can be a potentially dangerous adverse effect of medication combinations. Most of the torsade de pointes caused by polypharmacy, including methadone, were reported in patients with human immunodefi
