OBJECTIVE There has been a substantial increase in the prescribing of antidepressants on a population basis and in particular serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs have lower cardiac toxicity than tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). We examined how the prescribing of antidepressants to patients

OBJECTIVE Antidepressants, specifically selective serotonin reuptake-inhibiting antidepressants (SSRIs), decrease platelet activation and aggregation in in vitro experiments and could therefore decrease the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). However, prior studies addressing this hypothesis showed

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the association between antidepressants use and risk of myocardial infarction (MI), and whether this association differs between tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and selective serotonin reuptake

Many emotional disturbances such as post-stroke depression (PSD) and emotional incontinence (EI) commonly occur following cerebrovascular events. The efficacy of antidepressants for these conditions has been established but their comorbid treatment has not been well characterized. In the current

BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the association between antidepressant use and the risk of hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS A case-crossover study was conducted using a nationwide population-based sample from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. A

The sigma-1 receptor has been reported to be associated with diverse biological activities including cellular differentiation, neuroplasticity, neuroprotection, and cognitive functioning of the brain. Fluvoxamine, one of the currently known antidepressants, is a sigma-1 receptor agonist; its

BACKGROUND Depression following myocardial infarction is associated with poor cardiac prognosis. It is unclear whether antidepressant treatment improves long-term depression status and cardiac prognosis. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of antidepressant treatment compared with usual care in an

Two depressive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cerebral infarction, while being treated with corticosteroid, are described. In both cases, lithium was remarkably effective and no severe side-effects occurred. These findings suggest that lithium can be a useful antidepressant

The effects of mianserin, a tetracyclic antidepressant, and adinazolam, a new triazolobenzodiazepine which has antidepressant activity, on intraventricular conduction and the incidence of arrhythmias induced by programmed ventricular stimulation were studied in the dog heart after myocardial

The effects of amitriptyline and maprotiline, standard tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, on intraventricular conduction, the effective refractory period (ERP), and the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias induced by programmed stimulation were studied and compared in dog hearts after

In coronary artery disease the patients usually manifest both anxiety and depression disturbances. A controlled clinical study was conducted to test the efficacy of a new antidepressant agent, maprotiline, in the early stages of acute myocardial infarction. The sample consisted of 126 patients,

OBJECTIVE To explore the gender- and age-specific risk of developing a first myocardial infarction in people treated with antidiabetic and/or antidepressant drugs compared with people with no pharmaceutical treatment for diabetes or depression. METHODS A cohort of all Swedish residents aged 45-84

BACKGROUND Antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), attenuate platelet activation by depleting serotonin storage and may decrease risk of myocardial infarction (MI). These drugs differ in their affinity for the platelet serotonin transporter and therefore may
