selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and cardiovascular events: a systematic review
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: given the importance of the role of depression in predicting the outcome of cardiovascular disorders, current medications for treating depression, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris), are taken into consideration. this study aimed to systematically review the published findings in the use of ssris and the risk for cardiac events. materials and methods: an independent review of the web of science, pubmed, scopus, cochrane, cinahl, index copernicus, and google scholar, up to 2014, was performed. we identified studies evaluating the effect of ssris, on cardiovascular events. articles in english with full text availability, review articles, and experimental studies were included in the study. among 150 studies reviewed based on the included keywords, 17 met the study criteria and were finally reviewed. results: the use of some types of ssris may prevent platelet adhesion and aggregation; control the cardiovascular risk profile including hypertension, insulin resistance, and body weight; and also inhibit inflammatory processes. the appearance of adverse cardiac events, including cardiac arrhythmias (torsade de pointes and qt prolongation), syncope, increased systolic and diastolic right ventricular volume, and the production of pro?inflammatory cytokines leading atherosclerosis development, has also been expected with the chronic use of some types of ssris. conclusion: according to our systematic review, both beneficial and adverse cardiovascular events can be established following the chronic use of various types of ssris. therefore, when taking ssris, the cardiovascular effect of each ssri has to be carefully considered, based on patients’ cardiovascular risk profiles.

متن کاملSelective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors
It has long been postulated that a deficiency in CNS serotonergic activity is the cause of, or a predisposing factor for, depression. [1] However, the evidence for this association is largely circumstantial and it certainly does not represent an adequate and full model for depression, probably due to there being multiple aetiological factors. [2] Some pharmacological trial data also cast doubt ...
متن کاملSelective serotonin reuptake inhibitors-induced delirium: a case review.
BACKGROUND Many commonly used medications are associated with causing delirium, especially those with notable direct effects on the brain. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are probably the most often prescribed antidepressants and are known for their favourable side-effect profile. METHODS Medline and Toxline databases were searched for case reports of delirium caused by SSRIs....
متن کاملUse of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and risk of fracture: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the association between the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the risk of fracture. We identified relevant studies by searching three electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library) from their inception to October 20, 2010. Two evaluators independently extracted data. Because of heterogeneit...
