<abstract>
<p>Torsade de Points is unique polymorphic ventricular tachycardia associated with QT interval prolongation. The mechanism of Torsade de Points was not defined exactly but triggered activity associated with afterdepolarization and/or dispersion of repolarization were known possible explanation. Torsade de points is most often induced by various drugs such as antiarrythmic agents, antipsychotic agents, antibiotis, and antihistamines. Astemizole(Hismanal&#x00AE;) and Terfenadine among antihistamines are reported that cause leading to a Torsade de Points. We experienced the case of Torsade de Points which was induced with Piprinhydrinate(Diphenylpyraline, Plokon&#x00AE;), antihistamine of ethanolamine derivatives, expressed recurrent syncope and dizziness in a young lady.</p>
