Cardiac adverse drug reactions of risperidone among psychiatric patients: A short term prospective study
Highlights
- •
Following risperidone initiation, all ECG abnormalities were observed at the daily dose of two mg, 24 hours after initiation of treatment.
- •
The occurrence of ECG abnormalities with risperidone was independent of classical cardiovascular risk factors (age, sex, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, weight, family history).
- •
The subgroup with ECG abnormalities after risperidone initiation showed a trend towards a lower baseline white blood cells count (p = 0.052) and a lower level of triglycerides (p = 0.072) compared to control group.
