چکیده
Recent advances in electrocardiographic monitoring and waveform analysis have significantly improved the ability to detect drug-induced changes in cardiac repolarization manifested as changes in the QT/corrected QT interval. These advances have also improved the ability to detect drug-induced changes in cardiac conduction. This White Paper summarizes current opinion, reached by consensus among experts at the Cardiac Safety Research Consortium, on the assessment of electrocardiogram-based safety measurements of the PR and QRS intervals, representing atrioventricular and ventricular conduction, respectively, during drug development.

The electrocardiographic effects of imipramine hydrochloride at therapeutic plasma concentrations were determined in 44 depressed patients during a 6-week clinical outcome study of depression. During each week of the protocol, i.e., 2 weeks of control and 4 weeks of drug treatment, a standard 12-lead ECG, high-speed, high-fidelity ECG tracings, and a 24-hour continuous ECG recording were obtain...
متن کاملSequencing of SCN5A identifies rare and common variants associated with cardiac conduction: Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium.
BACKGROUND The cardiac sodium channel SCN5A regulates atrioventricular and ventricular conduction. Genetic variants in this gene are associated with PR and QRS intervals. We sought to characterize further the contribution of rare and common coding variation in SCN5A to cardiac conduction. METHODS AND RESULTS In Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium T...
متن کاملSolid Sirolimus Self-microemulsifying Drug Delivery System: Development and Evaluation of Tablets with Sustained Release Property
The clinical application of sirolimus (SRL) as an immunosuppressive agent is largely hampered by its narrow therapeutic range. This study focused on developing SRL tablets with a sustained release profile for better safety. SRL was highly water insoluble and its solubility has been efficiently enhanced by preparing self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS). The SRL-SMEDDS was physical...
