Drug Induced QT Prolongation: Lessons from Congenital and Acquired Long QT Syndromes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent developments regarding the underlying genetic and intracardiac ion channel causes of congenital long QT syndrome have shed new light in the area of repolarization disorders and their resultant cardiac arrhythmias. Drug induced or acquired QT prolongation often represents a latent form of congenital long QT syndrome, though the genetic basis of this has not been elucidated in the majority of cases. Understanding this has lead to a new concept of repolarization reserve, a measure of inherent susceptibility to repolarization-mediated arrhythmias. The majority of pharmacologic agents that cause significant QT prolongation have potassium channel blocking characteristics, predominantly affecting the rapidly activating current I(Kr). The list of agents known to affect I(Kr)continues to grow, best monitored through several websites that collate reports of drug-induced QT prolongation and arrhythmias. Discontinuation of the offending agent and supportive care are often all that is necessary when clinical arrhythmias arise.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
