Does halofantrine cause cardiac complications such as QT interval lengthening in treated patients?
Does halofantrine cause cardiac complications such as QT interval lengthening in treated patients?
Halofantrine causes dose-dependent QT interval prolongation, prompting the recommendation for baseline electrocardiography before initiating treatment.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support baseline ECG with halofantrine; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Monlun et al. (1995) studied this question.
