Looks very interesting. There was 1 cardiac death in the drug cohort.

Cardiac deaths are higher among schizophrenics normally I think. Feel bad for the family, but hoping this was just a coincidence rather than being a direct result of the drug. I have high hopes for SEP-363856.
“One patient died from sudden cardiac arrest and was found to have coronary artery disease and pulmonary embolism in an autopsy report, the researchers noted.”
