Ventricular arrhythmias can occur with concurrent use of azithromycin (AZM) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).
Combination therapy with HCQ+AZM can reduce the hospital length of stay in COVID-19 patients.
Preparatory risk assessment can limit the risk of arrhythmia in patients receiving HCQ+AZM combination therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
