Brief description Fatal heart rhythm disturbances are an all too common side effect of many drugs. Tests that are in place to guard against this are effective, but widely considered too stringent, meaning the development of potentially useful new therapeutics has been hampered. This study will characterise the precise mechanisms by which drugs cause arrhythmias and identify specific patterns on patient ECGs associated with the risk of rhythm disturbances that can be used in more effective clinical testing.
