amitriptyline and Heart Failure

amitriptyline has been researched along with Heart Failure in 8 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.

Heart Failure: A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

"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.

( Jerome, L, 2007)
