Title: Delayed fingolimod-associated asystole. Author: Espinosa PS, Berger JR. Journal: Mult Scler; 2011 Nov; 17(11):1387-9. PubMed ID: 21652609. Abstract: Oral fingolimod (Gilenya) is a sphingosine-1-phosphate-receptor modulator that prevents the egress of lymphocytes from lymph nodes. Fingolimod reduces relapses and delays disability progression in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). We report a patient with MS who developed asystole and sustained bradycardia 21 hours after the first dose of fingolimod.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
