amitriptyline and Bradycardia

amitriptyline has been researched along with Bradycardia in 9 studies

Amitriptyline: Tricyclic antidepressant with anticholinergic and sedative properties. It appears to prevent the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin at nerve terminals, thus potentiating the action of these neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline also appears to antagonize cholinergic and alpha-1 adrenergic responses to bioactive amines.
amitriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propylidene group at position 5.

Bradycardia: Cardiac arrhythmias that are characterized by excessively slow HEART RATE, usually below 50 beats per minute in human adults. They can be classified broadly into SINOATRIAL NODE dysfunction and ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK.

"Physostigmine is a commonly used therapy for the anticholinergic manifestations of tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) overdose."5.26Asystole complicating physostigmine treatment of tricyclic antidepressant overdose. ( Pentel, P; Peterson, CD, 1980)
" Activities of the compounds in antagonizing reserpine-induced ptosis in rabbits and prolongation of alcohol hypnosis in mice give good correlation with their clinical actions, whilst their activities in augmenting excitation of rats by amphetamine and yohimbine toxicity in mice, and in reversing reserpine-induced bradycardia in rats offer further evidence for drug-induced sensitization to adrenergic or tryptaminic mechanisms, which is not however specific for antidepressant agents."3.64A COMPARISON OF IMIPRAMINE, CHLORPROMAZINE AND RELATED DRUGS IN VARIOUS TESTS INVOLVING AUTONOMIC FUNCTIONS AND ANTAGONISM OF RESERPINE. ( HALLIWELL, G; QUINTON, RM; WILLIAMS, FE, 1964)
" We therefore investigated the adverse effects of preoperative intravenous amitriptyline in a typical phase 1A trial."2.73Phase 1A safety assessment of intravenous amitriptyline. ( Colvin, HP; Fridrich, P; Gerner, P; Hamp, T; Lirk, P; Lukanich, J; Saria, A; Wasan, AD; Zernig, G; Zizza, A, 2007)
"Familial rectal pain is a very rare entity that must always be considered as a possible aetiology of any life-threatening event in an infant because of the availability of a very effective treatment."1.33Familial rectal pain: a familial autonomic disorder as a cause of paroxysmal attacks in the newborn baby. ( Arbuès, AS; Bednarek, N; Morville, P; Motte, J; Plouin, P; Sabouraud, P, 2005)
" Finally we explored whether acute and/or chronic administration of amoxapine or amitriptyline affected the levels of opioid peptides and the mu and delta classes of opioid receptors in various regions of the brain and the spinal cord."1.28[Preclinical pharmacology of amoxapine and amitriptyline. Implications of serotoninergic and opiodergic systems in their central effect in rats]. ( Gozlan, H; Hamon, M; Laguzzi, R; Merahi, N; Saddiki-Traki, F, 1991)
