| アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: The high comorbidity and mutually reinforcing relation between depression and cardiovascular disease have raised concerns about the cardiovascular risk of antidepressants. To gain a better understanding of this correlation, we performed a comprehensive evaluation regarding the types and degrees of cardiovascular adverse events (AEs) associated with 37 commonly prescribed antidepressants. METHODS: AE reports from January 2004 to December 2023 were retrieved from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Disproportionality analysis was performed to identify antidepressant-related cardiovascular signals using the reporting odds ratio, proportional reporting ratio, and information component. Influencing factors of cardiovascular death, including age, sex, antidepressant choice, and concomitant medication, were explored. The underlying mechanisms of antidepressant-associated cardiovascular risk related to neurotransmitter transporters/receptors were further explored. RESULTS: The use of antidepressants was associated with eight categories of Standardized MedDRA Queries of cardiovascular events. Different antidepressants exerted varying types and degrees of cardiovascular risks along with contributions to death in reports with cardiovascular AEs. Among them, monoamine oxidase inhibitors had the highest risk of developing six cardiovascular event categories: torsades de pointes (TdP)/QT prolongation, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and ischaemic heart disease. Age, male and the use of 24 types of antidepressants and concomitant medications were positively correlated with death in cardiovascular AEs. The highest risk associated with antidepressants was found in amoxapine (OR = 5.00 [2.13, 11.75], P < 0.001), followed by moclobemide (OR = 3.66 [1.85, 7.24], P < 0.001). Correlation analysis indicated the occurrence of antidepressant-related TdP/QT prolongation, hypertension and cardiomyopathy was associated with the binding and uptake inhibition of dopamine and norepinephrine transporters as well as their selectivity over serotonin transporters. CONCLUSION: The retrospective analysis revealed that cardiovascular AEs were connected with antidepressant use, and the binding/uptake inhibitory potency and selectivity of neurotransmitters of antidepressants played an important role, providing a preliminary basis for further in-depth study of antidepressant-related cardiovascular toxicity. However, as an exploratory study, prospective studies are needed to validate our findings in the future. |
