Clozapine-induced Sinustachycardia Clinical Trial
— BisclozOfficial title:
Treating Clozapine-induced Sinustachycardia With Bisoprolol - a Double Blinded Placebo Controlled Cross Over Study
Clozapine-induced sinustachycardia occurs in 25% of patients treated with clozapine and sustained sinustachycardia might be a risk factor for dilated cardiomyopathy. This double-blinded cross over placebo controlled study investigate whether 10 mg bisoprolol are efficient in treating clozapine-induced sinustachycardia measured as heart rate, heart rate variability, QTc and T-wave morphology.
