Abstract: Pharmacogenic cardiotoxicity is one of the severe adverse reactions triggered by drugs, the severity of which ranges from mild electrocardiographic changes to fatal arrhythmias. Pharmacogenic cardiotoxicity is characterized by multiple sources, high incidence, insidiousness, susceptibility to special populations, diversity of clinical manifestations, and complexity of mechanisms. In recent years, research on pharmacogenic cardiotoxicity has received much attention. This paper reviews the research progress in pharmacogenic cardiotoxicity in terms of its clinical manifestations, mechanisms of occurrence and preventive measures to provide reference for clinical prevention of pharmacogenic cardiotoxicity.

Key words: pharmacogenic, cardiotoxicity, arrhythmias, clinical manifestations, clinical characteristic, mechanisms, preventive measures
