Abstract:
Medications are the main means for the treatment of mental illness, and it is of great significance to be familiar with the adverse reactions of psychotropic drugs for the formulation and optimization of treatment plans.The prolongation of the QT interval corrected by heart rate(QTc interval)is one of the most common cardiotoxic reactions after taking psychotropic drugs and may lead to torsade de pointes and increase the risk of sudden cardiac death.The elderly population is more prone to QTc interval prolongation.In this review, we focus on the relationship between common psychotropic drugs and QTc interval prolongation and influencing factors in the elderly population, so as to help clinicians avoid risk in drug selection.
