ABSTRACT

In recent years,a large number of drugs have been withdrawn from the market because of torsade de pointes(TdP) and sudden cardiac death,which pose great risks in drug application.Therefore,the different models have been developed to detect TdP liability during the early stage of drug development.In this paper,the principles and characteristics of these screening models are reviewed to give props for preclinical safety assessment.
