Characterising QT interval prolongation in early clinical development: a case study with methadone [PDF]
Recently, we have shown how pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) modelling can be used to assess the probability of QTc interval prolongation both in dogs and humans.

Chronic beta-adrenoceptor blockade and human atrial cell electrophysiology: evidence of pharmacological remodelling [PDF]
<b>Objective:</b> Chronic beta-adrenoceptor antagonist (β-blocker) treatment reduces the incidence of reversion to AF in patients, possibly via an adaptive myocardial response.

Potential adverse drug events can be signaled in Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs). This study validated a Swedish CDSS (Janusmed Risk Profile) by investigating associations between calculated risk classifications of drugs with QT‐prolonging potential and registered related clinical outcomes.

Molecular and clinical determinants of drug-induced long QT syndrome: an iatrogenic channelopathy. [PDF]
More than 70 drugs present on the Swiss market can cause drug-induced long QT syndrome (LQTS), which is associated with torsades de pointes (TdP) arrhythmias, potentially leading to sudden cardiac death. Basic and clinical investigations performed during

Chronic Arsenic Exposure and Cardiac Repolarization Abnormalities with QT Interval Prolongation in a Population-based Study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Chronic arsenic exposure is associated with cardiovascular abnormalities. Prolongation of the QT (time between initial deflection of QRS complex to the end of T wave) interval and profound repolarization changes on electrocardiogram (ECG ...

Towards understanding the clinical significance of QT peak prolongation: a novel marker of myocardial ischemia independently demonstrated in two prospective studies [PDF]
Background: QT peak prolongation identified patients at risk of death or non-fatal MI. We tested the hypothesis that QT peak prolongation might be associated with significant myocardial ischaemia in two separate cohorts to see how widely applicable the ...
