Ondansetron can be used cautiously in patients with arrhythmias and should be monitored with an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for QT prolongation.
In patients with prior cardiac arrhythmias, ondansetron should be used under close monitoring, preferably with ECG, due to its potential to prolong the QT interval.
