amitriptyline and Cardiovascular Diseases

amitriptyline has been researched along with Cardiovascular Diseases in 29 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.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Pathological conditions involving the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM including the HEART; the BLOOD VESSELS; or the PERICARDIUM.

"To conduct population-based analyses comparing the risk of serious cardiovascular (CV) events (eg, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, congestive heart failure) associated with treatment with milnacipran compared with venlafaxine and amitriptyline, 2 other commonly prescribed drugs that also inhibit reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin."3.77Epidemiologic Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients Receiving Milnacipran, Venlafaxine, or Amitriptyline: Evidence from French Health Data. ( Boerstoel-Streefland, M; Duh, MS; Guérin, A; Jiang, W; Lefebvre, P; Mease, PJ; Vekeman, F; Zimetbaum, PJ, 2011)
"Adenosine antagonists were found to be effective in improving hypotension, QRS prolongation and survival time in our rat model of amitriptyline toxicity."3.72Do adenosine receptors play a role in amitriptyline-induced cardiovascular toxicity in rats? ( Akgun, A; Aygoren, O; Gidener, S; Guven, H; Kalkan, S; Tuncok, Y, 2004)
" To compare the effects of antidepressant drugs, the electrocardiogram (ECG), vectorcardiogram (VCG), and body surface maps (BSM) were recorded in psychiatric patients without cardiovascular diseases treated by a) TCA amitriptyline or dosulepin (daily dose 50-200 mg, 22 patients), b) lithium (serum level 0."3.70Antidepressant drugs and heart electrical field. ( Hamplová, J; Horácek, BM; Kittnar, O; Paclt, I; Slavícek, J; Trefný, Z, 1998)
"Migraine, particularly migraine with aura, and increased body weight are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD)."2.74Weight change and clinical markers of cardiovascular disease risk during preventive treatment of migraine. ( Bigal, ME; Biondi, DM; Hulihan, J; Lipton, RB; Xiang, J, 2009)
"Amitriptyline infusion rats were then randomized into three groups."1.35Effect of glucagon on amitriptyline-induced cardiovascular toxicity in rats. ( Hocaoglu, N; Kalkan, S; Kaplan, YC; Oransay, K; Tuncok, Y, 2008)
