QT PRODACT: Evaluation of the Potential of Compounds to Cause QT Interval Prolongation by Action Potential Assays Using Guinea-Pig Papillary Muscles

Certain compounds that prolong QT interval in humans have little or no effect on action-potential (AP) duration used traditionally, but they inhibit rapidly-activated-delayed-rectifier potassium currents (IKr) and/or human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) currents. In this study using isolated guin...
