Background: Fingolimod is a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Despite an established effect on heart rate, the effect of fingolimod on cardiac repolarization is not completely known.
Methods: Twenty-seven patients with RRMS underwent 24-hr ambulatory ECG before fingolimod (baseline), at the day of fingolimod initiation (1D) and after three-month treatment (3M).
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is associated with prolonged cardiac repolarization but the underlying physiology has remained unknown. In this study, we compared cardiac repolarization during the relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) disease course in patients with motor and sensory onset symptom.
Methods: Twenty-five RRMS patients with motor and 33 RRMS patients with sensory onset symptom having 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded at the time of the first demyelinating event (ECG1) as well as at the later disease course (ECG2) were identified from the patient records.
