T - Thiazides

Q - Quinolones (Fluoroquinolones antibiotics)

R - Risperidone (Typical and atypical antipsychotics)

S - Sotalol (Class III antiarrhythmic)

Remember, Amiodarone prolongs QT but does not cause torsades.

Also, remember that electrolyte abnormalities (Hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia) can also prolong the QT interval. Drastic changes in electrolyte concentrations should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome along with these drugs. Here's another post on congenital long QT syndrome. Beta blockers can be used in long QT syndrome but ICD is the only definitive treatment.

The treatment of drug induced torsades is to stop the offending drug and magnesium sulfate.

That's all!

And finally, check out my favorite pun and pick up line on QT.
