reach
"Trazodone block of HERG channels was state dependent."

reach
"The precise mechanism remains unclear; however, the prevailing explanation is that trazodone overdose inhibits cardiac HERG potassium channels, leading to prolonged repolarization of cardiomyocytes, which increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmias ."

reach
"Inhibition of cardiac HERG potassium channels by the atypical antidepressant trazodone."

reach
"Trazodone inhibited HERG currents in a dose dependent manner with an IC50 of 2.9 microM in HEK cells and 13.2 microM in Xenopus oocytes."

reach
"In summary, the atypical antidepressant trazodone blocks cardiac HERG channels at concentrations that are probably relevant in vivo, particularly in overdosage."

reach
"However, trazodone blocks hERG channels at clinically relevant concentrations and therefore increases the QT duration [4142]."

reach
"A recent study demonstrated that trazodone inhibits hERG (human ether-á-go-go-related gene) channel current in a concentration dependent manner ( Zitron et al., 2004 )."

reach
"Both cisapride and E-4031 (data not shown) were included as positive controls.As shown in Fig. 1 , with superimposition of typical hERG voltage clamp current records acquired after equilibration with [MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"The potential clinical significance of the concentrations at which trazodone inhibits hERG channel current is discussed below and presented in Table 1 ."
