We defined serious AEs as death due to a cardiovascular cause, heart failure, stroke, transient ischemic attack, and myocardial infarction. Nonserious AEs were defined as palpitations, chest pain, angina, arrhythmia, hypertension, hypotension\u2013syncope, and unspecified cardiovascular or neurologic events. Adverse event rates were calculated in 4 groups: SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), other active therapies, and placebo.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Stroke and cardiac patients were the highest-risk groups for cardiovascular AEs. We were unable to detect differences in odds between SSRI and placebo for both serious (odds ratio [OR] 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.39 to 1.21) and nonserious (OR 1.18; 95%CI, 0.90 to 1.57) cardiovascular AEs. There was a significant decrease in the odds of nonserious cardiovascular AEs (OR 0.46; 95%CI, 0.24 to 0.86, P = 0.02) for patients receiving SSRIs, compared with TCAs. Over one-half of the selected trials did not report the presence or absence of cardiovascular events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This systematic review of antidepressant trials in high-risk patients did not determine whether SSRIs are associated with a greater or lesser risk of cardiovascular AEs. Reasons for this conclusion include the rarity of serious AEs, the lack of large trials in these patients, and a lack of adequate reporting of AEs in published trials. Further trials assessing the risk of cardiovascular AEs and better trial reporting are needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/070674370605101408","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,11]],"date-time":"2017-01-11T06:18:25Z","timestamp":1484115505000},"page":"923-929","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Antidepressant Trials Involving High-Risk Patients: A Systematic Review of Randomized Trials"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"J Robert","family":"Swenson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario; Clinical Investigator, Ottawa Health Research Institute, Ottawa, Ontario"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steve","family":"Doucette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistician, Clinical Epidemiology Program, Ottawa Health Research Institute, Ottawa, Ontario"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dean","family":"Fergusson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientist, Clinical Epidemiology Program, Ottawa Health Research Institute, Ottawa Ontario"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3999(99)00020-3"},{"key":"bibr2-070674370605101408","first-page":"385","volume":"51","author":"Ellison JM","year":"1990","journal-title":"J Clin Psychiatry"},{"key":"bibr3-070674370605101408","first-page":"139","volume":"52","author":"Feder R.","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Clin Psychiatry"},{"key":"bibr4-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.151.5.781"},{"key":"bibr5-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.319.7217.1106"},{"key":"bibr6-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00131746-200311000-00004"},{"key":"bibr7-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/mehy.2001.1366"},{"key":"bibr8-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/hc4101.097519"},{"key":"bibr9-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000085163.21752.0A"},{"key":"bibr10-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.62.7.792"},{"key":"bibr11-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.psy.44.3.216"},{"key":"bibr12-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.6.701"},{"key":"bibr13-070674370605101408","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.309.6964.1286"},{"key":"bibr14-070674370605101408","volume-title":"Evidence based clinical practice guideline: The choice of anti-depressants for depression in primary care.
