An article distributed by Reuters reports on UB research that shows use of a common anti-arthritis drug may be linked to irregular heart rhythm and quotes Satpal Singh, associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology, who said, "When we tried this drug on the fly heart it became clear that it gave rise to very pronounced arrhythmia. It slows down and becomes irregular."
