    .

    in both age groups.


    Results: There was no significant correlation between hydroxychloroquine concentration and ECG characteristics (including RR-, QRS- and QTcF intervals) (P = .


    Taken together, this concentration effect analysis in healthy subjects provides insight into the effects of hydroxychloroquine on ventricular repolarization without confounding factors
    due to illness or hospitalization.
