Several important non-cardiac drugs have been removed from the market after revealing harmful effect that was not identified during prior safety-assessment studies. We developed a new technique for the measurements of repolarization abnormalities from surface ECGs; this method improves sensitivity and specificity of the current technique used to identify the presence of abnormal ion current kinetics in the myocardial cells namely a prolongation of the QT interval on the surface ECG signal. We described in this paper the method and preliminary results, revealing the superiority of our technique that may play a role in the future of drug-safety assessment.
