Inappropriate chemotherapy decisions may occur through use of a commonly used formula that overestimates the risk of a cardiac adverse event, warn researchers. Many cancer drugs carry a risk of QT ...
One of the principal tasks of an oncologist is to determine whether to administer, reduce the dose, or hold chemotherapy on the basis of patient characteristics, organ function, and toxicities. These ...
ROTTERDAM, the NETHERLANDS — A new analysis of participants in a population-based cohort study suggests at least two ECGs might be useful to stratify individuals at risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) ...
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is a highly effective agent for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). QT interval prolongation is common with ATO and can pose a barrier to effective ...
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are associated with prolongation of the QTc interval on the electrocardiogram (ECG). The QTc-interval prolongation increases the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.
To examine gender differences in rate-corrected QT interval (QTc), an index of ventricular depolarization/repolarization, in young, trained men and women with lower ...
New research presented at ACR Convergence, the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting, discovers that use of hydroxychloroquine, a generic drug, does not cause any significant differences ...
The QT interval is the time from the beginning of the QRS complex (ventricular depolarization) to the end of the T wave (ventricular repolarization). The normal QT interval is controversial and ...
