Cancer treatment and drug-induced QT interval prolongation: A review
Anticancer drugs can cause drug-induced prolongation of the QT interval. Prolongation of the QT interval is a known risk factor and an independent predictor of the development of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (polymorphic ventricular ...

Trigger versus Substrate: Multi-Dimensional Modulation of QT-Prolongation Associated Arrhythmic Dynamics by a hERG Channel Activator [PDF]
Background: Prolongation of the QT interval of the electrocardiogram (ECG), underlain by prolongation of the action potential duration (APD) at the cellular level, is linked to increased vulnerability to cardiac arrhythmia.

Development of a Risk Score for QT Prolongation in the Intensive Care Unit Using Time-Series Electrocardiogram Data and Electronic Medical Records [PDF]
Objectives Drug-induced QT prolongation can lead to life-threatening arrhythmia. In the intensive care unit (ICU), various drugs are administered concurrently, which can increase the risk of QT prolongation.

QT peak prolongation predicts cardiac death following stroke [PDF]
Cardiac death has been linked in many populations to prolongation of the QT interval (QTe). However, basic science research suggested that the best estimate of the time point when repolarisation begins is near the T-wave peak.
