Full description Heart rhythm disorders or arrhythmias can result from cancer treatment. A lab-based study will assess the mechanisms of cancer-treatment induced long QT syndrome, which can result in fatal arrhythmias. A clinical study will recruit patients treated with medications that use the immune system to fight cancer. A side effect of these medications includes heart inflammation and arrhythmias. This study will develop methods to diagnose heart inflammation and markers that indicate arrhythmia risk.
