terfenadine and Heart Diseases

terfenadine has been researched along with Heart Diseases in 14 studies

Terfenadine: A selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist devoid of central nervous system depressant activity. The drug was used for ALLERGY but withdrawn due to causing LONG QT SYNDROME.

Heart Diseases: Pathological conditions involving the HEART including its structural and functional abnormalities.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Recent clinical evidence shows that some of the early prototypes in this class, namely terfenadine and astemizole, have the potential for producing torsade de pointes, a rare form of ventricular arrhythmia that is life-threatening."7.69Cardiotoxic and drug interaction profile of the second generation antihistamines ebastine and terfenadine in an experimental animal model of torsade de pointes. ( del Prado, M; Egan, RW; Hey, JA; Kreutner, W, 1996)
"Although the new second-generation nonsedative antihistamines terfenadine and astemizole were launched as highly selective and specific H(1)-receptor antagonists, they were later found to cause prolongation of the QT-interval and severe cardiac arrhythmias."4.81Cardiotoxicity of new antihistamines and cisapride. ( Paakkari, I, 2002)
" In this study, taking advantage of the transparency of larval zebrafish, Danio rerio, we assessed cardiovascular toxicity of seven known human cardiotoxic drugs (aspirin, clomipramine hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, nimodipine, quinidine, terfenadine and verapamil hydrochloride) and two non-cardiovascular toxicity drugs (gentamicin sulphate and tetracycline hydrochloride) in zebrafish using six specific phenotypic endpoints: heart rate, heart rhythm, pericardial edema, circulation, hemorrhage and thrombosis."3.80Human cardiotoxic drugs delivered by soaking and microinjection induce cardiovascular toxicity in zebrafish. ( Dong, QX; Gao, JM; He, JH; Huang, CJ; Li, CQ; Xu, YQ; Xuan, YX; Yu, HP; Zhu, JJ, 2014)
" Recent clinical evidence shows that some of the early prototypes in this class, namely terfenadine and astemizole, have the potential for producing torsade de pointes, a rare form of ventricular arrhythmia that is life-threatening."3.69Cardiotoxic and drug interaction profile of the second generation antihistamines ebastine and terfenadine in an experimental animal model of torsade de pointes. ( del Prado, M; Egan, RW; Hey, JA; Kreutner, W, 1996)
"The risk of serious ventricular arrhythmias with terfenadine using epidemiologic data is the same or less than that associated with traditional first-generation antihistamines."2.67Variability of the QTc interval: impact on defining drug effect and low-frequency cardiac event. ( Brown, AM; Critz, S; Crumb, WJ; Kunze, DL; Lacerda, AE; Lopez, H; Morganroth, J, 1993)
