Electrocardiographic Changes during Lithium Treatment
Electrocardiographic changes have been reported during therapy with psychotropic drugs—such as tricyclic anti-depressants (Schou 1963 ; Burrows et al., 1976 ; Reed and McKim 1978) and lithium (Tilkian et al., 1976a, 1976b; Wren and Dana 1976; Jefferson and Greist 1979).

متن کاملElectrocardiographic changes caused by lithium intoxication in an elderly patient
Lithium intoxication can cause serious cardiac toxicity and is associated with electrocardiogram (ECG) changes. This paper described a case of a 76-year-old man who was lithium intoxicated and showed a variety of ECG abnormalities including sinus bradycardia, rapid atrial fibrillation, second-degree atrioventricular block and T wave changes. We monitored his ECGs during the after 3 days consecu...
متن کاملBrugada-type electrocardiographic changes induced by long-term lithium use.
A 49-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 3-month history of increasing ataxia, tremors, and slurred speech. He had a history of bipolar disorder that required lithium, carbamazepine, and risperidone therapy for mood modulation. A serum lithium level measurement was performed and was found to be 2.5 mmol/L (therapeutic range 0.8 to 1.2 mmol/L). There was no history of suici...

متن کاملElectrocardiographic changes in patients with refractory epilepsy
BACKGROUND Epilepsy is the second most common type of chronic neurological disease. Its diagnosis carries an excess mortality, which is 2-3 times higher than that of general population. Mortality rates are increased among patients with uncontrolled seizures. The aim of this study was to characterize the electrocardiogram (ECG) changes during pre-ictal, ictal and post-ictal states in pharmaco-re...
