ExcerptRelevanceReference
"5 to 7 mg base per kilogram caused significantly more arrhythmias than did E-10-hydroxynortriptyline (E-10-OH-NT) but was not significantly different from Z-10-hydroxynortriptyline (Z-10-OH-NT) in this effect."3.68Comparative cardiotoxicity of nortriptyline and its isomeric 10-hydroxymetabolites. ( Everett, G; Perel, JM; Pollock, BG, 1992)
"Nortriptyline hydrochloride is an effective antidepressant that, in depressed patients without heart disease, causes significantly less orthostatic hypotension than imipramine."1.27Nortriptyline in depressed patients with left ventricular impairment.
