Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor use is associated with right ventricular structure and function: the MESA-right ventricle study.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor use is associated with right ventricular structure and function: the MESA-right ventricle study.

PURPOSE:Serotonin and the serotonin transporter have been implicated in the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may have a role in PH treatment, but the effects of SSRI use on right ventricular (RV) structure and function are unknown. We hypoth...
