This article discusses evolving preclinical strategies for detecting drug-induced cardiotoxicity using human ion-channel assays, human-basedin silicoreconstructions and human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. Such strategies have the potential to improve the early detection of genuine cardiotoxicity risks, reducing the likelihood of mistakenly discarding viable drug candidates and speeding worthy drugs into clinical trials.
