An open‐label, single‐arm, dose‐escalating concentration–QT study to investigate the cardiac effects and safety of paroxetine in healthy adults

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), approved for treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. Some SSRIs are known to prolong the QT interval; however, clinical evidence to establish a lack of association between paroxetine and corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation is limited. Therefore, this

Retrospective, Multicenter Study of Lacosamide to Treat Neonatal Seizures

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Most antiseizure medications (ASMs) are prescribed off label for neonates. Lacosamide's efficacy in infants and availability in intravenous formulation suggest potential utility for neonates. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of lacosamide for neonatal seizures. Methods This 10‐center, retrospective study of neonates with seizures

Major Adverse Cardiac Events with Ondansetron: A Systematic Review

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Evidence base: 170 randomized trials, 23,421 adults, predominantly single‐dose IV ondansetron, mean follow‐up 20 days. Observed outcomes: Major adverse cardiac events were rare, no ventricular arrhythmias or torsades de pointes observed. Conclusion: Ondansetron was not associated with increased mortality or serious cardiac arrhythmias in adult ...

Development of models for predicting Torsade de Pointes cardiac arrhythmias using perceptron neural networks

open access: yes, 2017
Blockage of some ion channels and in particular, the hERG cardiac potassium channel delays cardiac repolarization and can induce arrhythmia. In some cases it leads to a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia known as Torsade de Pointes (TdP).

Rare but relevant: Ibogaine and cardiovascular complications—prolonged QT interval and ventricular arrhythmias

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Revived interest in psychedelic‐assisted therapies has also renewed focus on ibogaine, a psychoactive alkaloid, for its notable anti‐addictive potential. Evidence from observational, open‐label, and limited randomized placebo‐controlled trials indicates that ibogaine and its metabolite noribogaine reduce craving and withdrawal symptoms in ...

Torsade de pointes associated with encephalitis

open access: yesThe Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1999
Torsade de pointes is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Causes of torsade de pointes are well described. Although intracranial disease can produce dramatic electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, we are not aware of previous cases with torsade de
