Aim: Empagliflozin (EMPA) is a sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitor used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and has positive effects on cardiovascular outcomes. Amitriptyline (AMT) can be used in many clinical indications but leads to cardiotoxicity by causing QT prolongation. Our aim in this study was to determine how the effects of the concomitant use of empagliflozin and amitriptyline, which have been shown to have effects on sodium and calcium metabolism in cardiomyocytes, would cause an effect on QT and QTc intervals in clinical practice.

Case reports suggest that LET can successfully rescue cardiovascular collapse from bupropion, amitriptyline, and propranolol. The efficacy of LET against refractory hypotension and dysrhythmias from diphenhydramine, a commonly ingested lipophilic cardiotoxic agent, is less well described.
