Abstract

Antidepressant overdose may be associated with significant cardiotoxicity, and recent data have shown that acute toxic effects are associated with impaired heart rate variability. This study was designed to examine the feasibility of non-invasive heart rate variability recording in patients that present to hospital after deliberate antidepressant ingestion.
