Background: The association between corrected QT (QTc) interval and life-threatening cardiac events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains unclear. This study sought to investigate whether the prolonged QTc was associated with HCM-related death in patients with HCM.
Methods: We included 445 patients with HCM (mean age 51 ± 16 years, 67% men).

Objective: To review the efficacy of iloperidone for mania associated with bipolar I disorder and discuss its safety profile (eg, QTc prolongation, orthostatic hypotension, and metabolic adverse effects).
Data Sources: Literature was identified using PubMed (1966-September 2024), OVID (1984-November 2024), and clinicaltrials.gov.

Objective: To test whether an artificial intelligence (AI) deep neural network (DNN)-derived analysis of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) can distinguish patients with long QT syndrome (LQTS) from those with acquired QT prolongation.
Methods: The study cohort included all patients with genetically confirmed LQTS evaluated in the Windland Smith Rice Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic and controls from Mayo Clinic's ECG data vault comprising more than 2.5 million patients.

Pharmaceutical companies have several options to evaluate drug-induced QT prolongation, often referred to as QT pathways, during clinical development. Current regulatory practices recommend achieving high clinical exposure (HCE) for conventional thorough QT (TQT) studies. An alternative to the TQT study, commonly known as the Q&A 5.
