Is it true that Haloperidol use can cause QT prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias, particularly at high doses or in predisposed patients?

Yes. Haloperidol use is well-documented to cause QT interval prolongation and associated ventricular arrhythmias, particularly in patients with pre-existing vulnerabilities or at high doses.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that haloperidol and similar antipsychotics cause QT prolongation and can lead to ventricular arrhythmias, especially in vulnerable or predisposed patient populations.
