Pontoise.
Inhibitors of serotonin uptake are drugs prescribed
without recognised cardiovascular risk. The authors report a case of
torsades de pointes following Citalopram ingestion. In this patient, the
proof of reintroduction in a hospital environment resulted in
prolongation of the QT interval. Screening of patients for acquired or
congenital long QT intervals is therefore necessary before starting
treatment with Citalopram.
