amitriptyline and Electrocardiogram QT Prolonged

amitriptyline has been researched along with Electrocardiogram QT Prolonged in 15 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.

"We conducted a single-center, retrospective observational study, and evaluated 87 patients (65 amitriptyline, 22 nortriptyline) who underwent 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) examinations both before and after receiving TCAs for herpes zoster pain or postherpetic neuralgia from May 2007 to January 2012."3.80Use of tricyclic antidepressants as analgesic adjuvants results in nonhazardous prolongation of the QTc interval.
