>>>>>Look if patients in the case receive or suffer any of :

5-Sever sinus node disfunction unless patient has an artificial one)
6-Look for any drug that cause QT^ or reduce HR.
>>>>Look on the process of infusion:
1-Non PVC , Need filter / slow infusion to avoid bradycardia
,2-drug of choice in HF as antiarrythmic ( plus Dofelitide)

hepatitis
-High ALK-T billi - GGT - -Cholestatis - billary
-High INR and low Albumin and platlets - -Liver chronic Damage
