BackgroundDrug-induced QT prolongation (diLQT) is a feared side-effect as exposing susceptible individuals to fatal arrhythmias. The occurrence of diLQT is primarily attributed to unintended drug interactions with cardiac ion channels, notably the hERG channels that generate the repolarizing current (IKr) and thereby regulate the late repolarization phase. There is an important inter-individual susceptibility to develop diLQT which is of unknown origin but can be reproduced in patient-specific i...
