  • Title: [Reversible cardiomyopathy induced by psychotropic drugs: case report and literature overview].
    Author: Cruchaudet B, Eicher JC, Sgro C, Wolf JE.
    Journal: Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris); 2002 Dec; 51(6):386-90. PubMed ID: 12608134.
    Abstract:
    A number of psychotropic drugs, including tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazine and lithium, have a well demonstrated risk of cardiotoxicity. Each individual therapeutic class has potentially deleterious effects on electrophysiology and myocardial function. The authors report a case showing how serious side effects may result from the association of these different classes in the presence of a coexistent heart disease, even when the underlying disease is mild.
