valproic acid and Carditis

valproic acid has been researched along with Carditis in 8 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

( Eriksson, L; Malacova, E; McMahon, K; Moudgil, V; Ramineni, V; Scott, J; Siskind, D; Vickers, M, 2022)

( Coleman, JK; Cotes, RO; De Leon, J; Goldsmith, DR; Koenig, M; McCollum, B; Shelton, C; Spivey, JK, 2022)

"The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the incidence of suspected or definite cases of clozapine induced myocarditis (SDM) and clinical factors which could influence its onset in two different time periods, defined by pre- and post-cardiac monitoring at an inpatient setting, during the initiation phase of clozapine treatment."7.91A comparative study of detection of myocarditis induced by clozapine: With and without cardiac monitoring. ( Ağaoğlu, E; Ak, S; Anıl Yağcıoğlu, AE; Ertuğrul, A; Karahan, S; Karakaşlı, AA; Yazıcı, MK, 2019)
"Despite the implementation of cardiac monitoring guidelines, clozapine-induced myocarditis continues to cause deaths in Australia, and the risk is a barrier to prescription of this effective drug for the treatment of schizophrenia."7.78Rapid clozapine dose titration and concomitant sodium valproate increase the risk of myocarditis with clozapine: a case-control study. ( Fitzgerald, PB; McNeil, JJ; Ronaldson, KJ; Taylor, AJ; Topliss, DJ; Wolfe, R, 2012)
"He had been on a lamotrigine treatment due to epilepsy, and after cessation of lamotrigine, his cardiac enzyme levels returned to normal."5.38Lamotrigine related myocarditis: case report. ( Bayhan, T; Karagöz, T; Sahin, M; Yıldırım, I, 2012)

"Clozapine (CLZ) is a gold-standard antipsychotic against treatment-refractory schizophrenia, but is one of the most toxic antipsychotic agents."3.96Activation of Astroglial Connexin is Involved in Concentration-Dependent Double-Edged Sword Clinical Action of Clozapine. ( Fukuyama, K; Murata, M; Okada, M; Okubo, R; Shiroyama, T, 2020)
