Abstract Cardiac and hepatic safety are important considerations in drug development. This article focuses on the examination of laboratory and electrocardiogram data using graphical approaches that enable a better understanding of the data. Useful general principles to keep in mind when developing graphics are followed by sections on cardiovascular and hepatic safety.
