Different voltage dependence of ICaL blockade in nonselective IKr blockers causes their opposite effects on early afterdepolarization in drug-induced arrhythmia

Several false-positive results in the human ether-à-gogo-related gene test suggest that blockers of the rapid component of delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr) do not necessarily produce drug-induced arrhythmias. Specifically, the occurrence of early afterdepolarization (EAD) differs among IKr blocker...
