Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), mainly deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), persists as a critical contributor to hospital-acquired mortality.

Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is commonly treated in specialized care settings with long-acting opioid agonists, also known as opioid agonist therapy, or OAT. Despite the rise in opioid use globally and evidence for a 50% reduction in mortality when OAT is employed, the proportion of people with OUD receiving OAT remains small. One initiative to improve the access and uptake of OAT could be to offer OAT in a primary care setting; primary care clinics are more numerous, might reduce the visibility and potential stigma of receiving treatment for OUD, and may facilitate the care of other medical conditions that are unrelated to OUD.

The Risk of Breakthrough Cardiac Events Associated With Psychiatric Medications in Patients With Diagnosed and Clinically Treated Long QT Syndrome.

JACC Clin Electrophysiol

September 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Diseases, Division of Heart Rhythm Services, Windland Smith Rice Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA; Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Windland Smith Rice Sudden Death Genomics Laboratory, Mayo Clinic, Ro

Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially life-threatening genetic heart disease. Because many psychiatric medications have QT-prolonging potential, there is hesitation when prescribing them to LQTS patients with concomitant psychiatric disorders, which may lead to suboptimal mental health care.

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the incidence of breakthrough cardiac events (BCEs) in patients with diagnosed and clinically treated LQTS on QT-prolonging psychiatric medications.
