alfuzosin has been researched along with Long QT Syndrome in 3 studies

alfuzosin: structure given in first source

Long QT Syndrome: A condition that is characterized by episodes of fainting (SYNCOPE) and varying degree of ventricular arrhythmia as indicated by the prolonged QT interval. The inherited forms are caused by mutation of genes encoding cardiac ion channel proteins. The two major forms are ROMANO-WARD SYNDROME and JERVELL-LANGE NIELSEN SYNDROME.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Incidents of adverse cardiac drug reactions are more common in patients with preexisting heart disease than the general population."1.39Drug screening using a library of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes reveals disease-specific patterns of cardiotoxicity. ( Bers, DM; Diecke, S; Gong, T; Knowles, JW; Lan, F; Lee, AS; Liang, P; Nguyen, PK; Robbins, RC; Sallam, K; Sanchez-Freire, V; Wang, PJ; Wang, Y; Wu, JC, 2013)
"Alfuzosin is a rare example of a non-antiarrhythmic drug that delays cardiac repolarization not by blocking hK(v)11."1.35Alfuzosin delays cardiac repolarization by a novel mechanism. ( Brown, AM; Chen, Y; Danthi, SJ; Eng, H; Kramer, JW; Kuryshev, YA; Lacerda, AE; Renganathan, M; Yang, T, 2008)
