Chemotherapy and Cancer Gang up to Cause a Neurological Side Effect, Study Says

Atlanta, GA

Chemotherapy has gotten the blame for this neurological side effect, but it's cancer's fault, too.

Images show the voltage surface on a rabbit heart with and without HCQ. Without the drug (left) the electrical activation spreads homogeneously, while with HCQ, waves propagate unevenly, generating complex spatiotemporal patterns and arrhythmias.
