Risk of stress cardiomyopathy associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors: a real-world pharmacovigilance analysis.

ABSTRACT: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are reported to cause stress cardiomyopathy (SC). This study evaluated the association between SSRI/SNRI use and the occurrence of cardiomyopathy in the publicly available U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Disproportionate analysis and likelihood ratio tests were used to identify risk associated with SSRIs or SNRIs and the incidence of SC, using data from between from 2012 to 2022 acquired from the FAERS database. The study identified 132 individual case safety reports (ICSRs) of SC associated with SSRIs or SNRIs. Venlafaxine (48%) and fluoxetine (27%) were the most common antidepressants of the ICSRs. Approximately 80% of SC cases we
