Abstract

The thirty eight tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) intoxicated patients were hospitalised during 2002 year in the Regional Toxicological Center in Lublin. The attempted suicides were the reason of administrating TCA drugs. All hospitalised patients did not suffer from cardio-vascular diseases. Analyzing the cases of patients intoxicated with TCA we took into account: heart rate, blood pressure, ECG record--QRS, QT, PQ, ST abnormalities, blood gases ((pH, pCO2, pO2, saturation), and serum drug concentration. The 50% of our TCA intoxicated patients demonstrated cardio-vascular symptoms confirming our expectations.
