Prokinetic agents, specifically 5-hydroxytryptamine type 4 (5-HT 4 ) receptor agonists, have been shown to provide relief in chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). The first-generation 5-HT 4 agonists were initially withdrawn from use owing to associations with serious cardiovascular (CV) events. This review summarizes CV safety data for prucalopride, a high-affinity 5-HT 4 agonist approved in the United States in 2018 for adults with CIC. No significant effects of prucalopride on CV safety were observed in animal models or early-phase clinical studies, including a thorough QT study at therapeutic (2 mg) or supratherapeutic (10 mg) doses. Among 1,750 patients with CIC …

Background

There are limited data on risk of arrhythmias among patients with lymphoproliferative disorders. We designed this study to determine the risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmia during treatment of lymphoma in a real‐world setting.

Methods and Results

The study population comprised 2064 patients included in the University of Rochester Medical Center Lymphoma Database from January 2013 to August 2019. Cardiac arrhythmias—atrial fibrillation/flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmia, and bradyarrhythmia—were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD‐10) codes. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to assess the risk of arrhythmic events with treatments categorized as Bruton tyrosine …
