In silico investigation of pro-arrhythmic effects of azithromycin on the human ventricle
The macrolide antibiotic azithromycin (AZM) is widely used for respiratory infections and has been suggested to be a possible treatment for the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19). However, AZM-associated QT interval prolongation and arrhythmias have been reported. Integrated mechanistic informat...
