In cardiac electrophysiology, there exist many sources of inter-and intra-personal variability. These include variability in conditions and environment, and genotypic and molecular …
The traditional cardiac model-building paradigm involves constructing a composite model using data collected from many cells. Equations are derived for each relevant cellular …
The use of computational models to predict drug-induced changes in the action potential (AP) is a promising approach to reduce drug safety attrition but requires a better …
Drug Mode of Action and hERG‐Related Safety Introduction Since the discovery of the link that exists between drug‐induced hERG inhibition and Torsade de Pointes (TdP), extreme …
Abstract Background and Objective: Models of the cardiomyocyte action potential have contributed immensely to the understanding of heart function, pathophysiology, and the …

Drug isomers may differ in their proarrhythmia risk. An interesting example is the drug sotalol, an antiarrhythmic drug comprising d-and l-enantiomers that both block the hERG …
Abstract HERG (Kv11. 1, KCNH2) is a voltage-gated potassium channel with unique gating characteristics. HERG has fast voltage-dependent inactivation, relatively slow deactivation …
