Improving Cardiac Safety Testing Protocols

The International Council on Harmonization (ICH) S7B and E14 regulatory guidelines were introduced in 2005 to evaluate the proarrhythmic liability of new drugs. They were implemented in response to the discovery that inhibition of a cardiac potassium channel (encoded by hERG) is associated with prolongation of the QT interval and a potentially deadly arrhythmia, Torsades de Pointes.
