diphenhydramine and Arrhythmias, Cardiac

diphenhydramine has been researched along with Arrhythmias, Cardiac in 21 studies

Diphenhydramine: A histamine H1 antagonist used as an antiemetic, antitussive, for dermatoses and pruritus, for hypersensitivity reactions, as a hypnotic, an antiparkinson, and as an ingredient in common cold preparations. It has some undesired antimuscarinic and sedative effects.
diphenhydramine : An ether that is the benzhydryl ether of 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol. It is a H1-receptor antagonist used as a antipruritic and antitussive drug.
antitussive : An agent that suppresses cough. Antitussives have a central or a peripheral action on the cough reflex, or a combination of both. Compare with expectorants, which are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing, and mucolytics, which decrease the viscosity of mucus, facilitating its removal by ciliary action and expectoration.

Arrhythmias, Cardiac: Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.

"When diagnosing and treating drug overdose caused by an unidentified substance, diphenhydramine toxicity should be considered when an anticholinergic toxidrome is present and a Brugada pattern is observed on the ECG."1.91Diphenhydramine overdose detected early by integration of toxidrome and electrocardiography and treated with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case report.
