Drug‐induced Shortening of the Electromechanical Window is an Effective Biomarker for in Silico Prediction of Clinical Risk of Arrhythmias
2019
Background and Purpose
Early identification of drug‐induced cardiac adverse events is key in drug development. Human‐based computer models are emerging as an effective approach, complementary to in vitro and animal models. Drug‐induced shortening of the electromechanical window has been associated with increased risk of arrhythmias. This study investigates the potential of a cellular surrogate for the electromechanical window (EMw) for prediction of pro‐arrhythmic cardiotoxicity, and its underlying ionic mechanisms, using human‐based computer models.
