We show that therapeutic concentrations of both citalopram and escitalopram have pro-arrhythmic potential on the human cardiac action potential by increasing the triangulation of the cardiac action potential, which is related to increased risk for Torsade de Pointes and cardiac arrest
- Abnormal heart rhythms associated with high doses of Celexa
As a result of this thorough QT study, FDA has determined that citalopram causes dose-dependent QT interval prolongation and should no longer be used at doses above 40 mg per day
