The interrelationships between serum levels of amiodarone, desethylamiodarone, and reverse T3, and changes in the corrected QT interval (ΔQTc) were examined in 22 patients during long-term treatment with amiodarone. At 1, 3, and 6 months of follow-up, the correlation coefficient between serum levels of amiodarone or desethylamiodarone and reverse T3ranged from 0.01 to −0.2 (p> 0.4). At the same time intervals, the correlation coefficient between both amiodarone and desethylamiodarone levels and ΔQTcranged from 0.1 to −0.1 (p> 0.6), and the correlation coefficient between reverse T3and ΔQTcalso ranged between 0.1 to −0.1 (p> 0.5). Substituting percent ΔQTcfor ΔQTcalso did not reveal a significant correlation. These data demonstrate that serum levels of reverse T3cannot be used as a substitute for serum levels of amiodarone in monitoring patients being treated with amiodarone. The absence of a correlation between serum reverse T3levels and ΔQTcsuggests that the delay in repolarization which occurs during amiodarone therapy is not secondary to an amiodarone-induced abnormality in thyroid hormone metabolism.
