A search to predict potential for drug-induced cardiovascular toxicity

Toxicologic Pathology
Robert L Hamlin

Abstract

This is a brief review of properties of cardiovascular function that should be considered for interrogation in studies of toxicology and/or safety pharmacology for non-cardiologists and non-physiologists. Since concern over the rarely occurring, unusual, and drug-induced tachycardia, Torsade de pointes, is a leading cause for cessation of development of potential drugs and for removal of drugs from the market, therefore, the toxic manifestation of drugs will be emphasized. The putative origin of torsade de pointes, and the origin of the electrocardiogram and electrocardiographic features of ventricular arrhythmias will be discussed.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
