mianserin and Atrial Fibrillation

mianserin has been researched along with Atrial Fibrillation in 3 studies

Mianserin: A tetracyclic compound with antidepressant effects. It may cause drowsiness and hematological problems. Its mechanism of therapeutic action is not well understood, although it apparently blocks alpha-adrenergic, histamine H1, and some types of serotonin receptors.
mianserin : A dibenzoazepine (specifically 1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydrodibenzo[c,f]pyrazino[1,2-a]azepine) methyl-substituted on N-2. Closely related to (and now mostly superseded by) the tetracyclic antidepressant mirtazapinean, it is an atypical antidepressant used in the treatment of depression throughout Europe and elsewhere.

Atrial Fibrillation: Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Two patients, who were receiving therapy with mianserin for depressive disorders, developed signs of disturbed cardiac function which resolved after mianserin therapy was discontinued."3.67Disturbed cardiac function possibly associated with mianserin therapy. ( Evans, L; Klug, P; Whiteford, H, 1984)
"Mirtazapine is a commonly prescribed antidepressant drug, which is also metabolized through and may modulate the CYP4502D6 pathway leading to altered metabolism of propafenone and possible adverse effects."1.40Propafenone associated severe central nervous system and cardiovascular toxicity due to mirtazapine: a case of severe drug interaction. ( Aryal, SR; Khan, MA; Rajpurohit, N; Stys, AT; Stys, TP, 2014)
