Changes in cardiac repolarization in patients treated with antipsychotic drugs

Development of life saving drugs(antiarrhythmics, cardiotonics, AIDS drugs etc.)
Endpoint: mortality
Development of quality of life improving drugs
(pl. antihistamins, CNS and GI drugs etc.)
Endpoint: not mortality
„I guess we should have tried it on the rats first.”
General conclusion
1. We should first reach a concensus what degree or any kind of mortality can be tolerated.
2. Before treatment we should assess the susceptability of the patients regarding possible QT lengthening (repolarization reserve)
3. In the future during drug development, to design and control safety pharmacology studies deeper cardiac electro-physiological background and further basic research is required.
”Are you coming hunting, or are you gonna sit around here all day inventing?”
Specific conclusion considering the role of repolarization reserve
1. Cardiac muscle has strong safety margin of repolarization („REPOLARIZATION RESERVE”). Decrease of this repolarization reserve does not necessarily lead to marked change of repola-rization but makes hearts susceptible to arrhythmias.
2. Multiple K+ channel block can result excessive repolarization lengthening by eliminating the repolarization reserve and therefore it can associate with increased proarrhythmic risk. “Are you sure about this, Dave? It
seems odd that a pointy head and long beak is what makes them fly.”
