For safety, all patients with methadone treatment should receive
an EKG measuring the QT segment of the test.
Methadone is known for causing sudden cardiac death in those with a genetic long QT problem. (some of the sudden deaths of athletes you hear about have this)...taking other drugs with the same potential increases this risk in normal patients. Becoming low in magnesium and potassium also increases this risk.
