Özet

Objective: Antidepressants exert distinct effects on cardiac autonomic nervous system function depending on their receptor profile; thus, different groups of antidepressants are expected to influence cardiac parameters in varying degrees. This study compares the effects of venlafaxine, a serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor and reboxetine, a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, on ECG parameters and vital signs.
