  • Title: [The cardiotropic effect of antidepressants in aging patients (author's transl)].
    Author: Herzmann C.
    Journal: Aktuelle Gerontol; 1978 Sep; 8(9):481-5. PubMed ID: 30327.
    Abstract:
    All antidepressants now used have a cardiotropic, for some instances also cardiotoxic effect. This quinidine-like effect prolongs the QT-interval of ECG and can induce reentry and ventricular fibrillation. When quinidine and antidepressants are combined in the same patient the risk of such cardiac complications increases.
