Abstract

Prolongation of QTinterval is apredictor offatal cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. In clinical practice, medicines with possible and conditional risk of QTprolongation are combine. The danger of such interactions could be enhanced if medi- cines interact themselves at metabolic rate. The interaction of drugs with possible and conditional risk of QTprolongation and interaction of these drugs with drugs that can influence the metabolic activity of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes require specific attention from physicians. Predictability of QTprolongation by drug-drug interactions at metabolic rate in drug administration will increase the safety of pharmacotherapy of drugs with possible and conditional risk of QTprolongation.

Cardiotoxicity

Cardiotoxicity refers to the muscle damage or dysfunction of heart electrophysiology caused by drug intake or due to disease complications. It is a well-known side effect of several cytotoxic drugs, especially of the anthracyclines and can lead to long term morbidity. 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.

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.
