چکیده
Fingolimod (Gilenya) is a new oral drug for treatment of multiple sclerosis in adults (1). It is known that fingolimod therapy commonly carries adverse reactions such as a negative chronotropic effect and an increased atrioventricular conduction time in adolescents and adults (2). However, the drug is not used in children and reports describing the consequences of fingolimod in overdose are extremely limited (3).

Electrocardiographic assessments and cardiac events after fingolimod first dose – a comprehensive monitoring study
BACKGROUND First dose observation for cardiac effects is required for fingolimod, but recommendations on the extent vary. This study aims to assess cardiac safety of fingolimod first dose. Individual bradyarrhythmic episodes were evaluated to assess the relevance of continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. METHODS START is an ongoing open-label, multi-center study. At the time of analys...
متن کاملCardiac Safety Profile of First Dose of Fingolimod for Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in Real-World Settings: Data from a German Prospective Multi-Center Observational Study
INTRODUCTION Fingolimod was the first oral therapy approved for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Due to its action on cardiac sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors, fingolimod is leading to a transient decrease in heart rate (HR) and the occurrence of rare and asymptomatic self-limited atrioventricular (AV) blocks. This German non-interventional clinical study aimed t...

Background and Aim: Presence of ischemic changes on the anterior surface of heart and AV block worsen the prognosis of acute Inferior Mycocardial Infarction (MI). The rate of mortality increases with the occurrence of AV block in inferior MI.The aim of this study was to predict and diagnose acute Inferior MI in patients with AV block based on ECG and clinical features.Patients and Methods: ...

The sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, fingolimod (FTY720), has been used for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, but atrioventricular (AV) conduction block have been reported in some patients after the first dose. The underlying mechanism of this AV node conduction blockade is still not well-understood. In this study, we hypothesize that express...

Paroxysmal atrioventricular (AV) block is an unusual phenomenon that has been previously described. We report the case of a 78-year-old man who presented after an episode of syncope while seated in church. On presentation to the hospital, the initial electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with a normal PR interval, QRS duration, and corrected QT interval. During telemetry monitoring, several epi...
