| Core Tip |
Antipsychotic drugs have a bad reputation of prolonging the QTc interval, and thereby possibly leading to fatal incidents of Torsade de pointes arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Differential propensities for QTc prolongation among second generation antipsy-chotics (SGAs) have been claimed, but lack substantial support from pragmatic studies. None of the SGAs was statistically significantly prolonging the QTc interval in the present pragmatic study, and no statistically significant differences among the drug groups were found for this outcome. Even in a situation with a substantial proportion with QTc prolongation at admittance any of the SGAs under investigation seemed to be safe choices in the present study.
