Gabapentin is used to control seizures, to treat nerve pain that can happen after having had shingles, and to treat a condition called restless legs syndrome. In addition to these FDA-approved uses, doctors sometimes prescribe gabapentin off-label. Although the most frequent side effects of gabapentin are associated with the central nervous system, gabapentin can also affect the cardiovascular system. Case reports and observational studies have showed that gabapentin can be associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation. Heart rate increased is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Tylenol, and have Rheumatoid arthritis. Gabantin or gabapentin: There were some side effects associated with gabapentin such as hypotension and bradycardia and considered rare cases (less than 0.1%). Also , there were post-marketing and case reports of bradycardia (slow heart rate) But it can progress and cause damage to major organs, like the liver, kidneys, or heart. Angioedema, anaphylaxis, and DRESS syndrome are medical emergencies that require immediate treatment. Keywords: gabapentin, arterial blood pressure, heart rate, left ventricular function, proteomics, bioinformatics, calmodulin 1. Introduction Gabapentin (GBP) is a 3,3-disubstituted derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Gabapentin is fairly safe when you use it correctly. It does come with some possible side effects, though. People who misuse this drug are also at risk of additional side effects. In this study, we investigated the hemodynamic response to acute and chronic administration of gabapentin, a ligand of auxiliary α 2 δ subunit of VDCCs, in adult SHR with established neurogenic hypertension. The acute gabapentin administration lowered BP and heart rate more in conscious SHR than Wistar-Kyoto rats. We observed that unilateral microinjection of gabapentin into the NTS whether to change dose-related BP and HR. Then, unilateral microinjection of gabapentin into the NTS before and after N (ω)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) treatment whether to change blood pressure and heart rate. Several medications can affect the electrical signals in your heart and make your heart beat faster. (The medical term for a fast heart rate is tachycardia.) If you have a fast heart rate Discover if gabapentin affects heart rate and find out if this medication is safe for individuals with heart conditions. Recent Findings The most frequent adverse effects of gabapentin and pregabalin affect the central nervous system, such as somnolence and fatigue. Additionally, pregabalin, and a much lesser extent, gabapentin, may adversely affect the cardiovascular system. Pregabalin induces peripheral edema and may cause or exacerbate heart failure. Background Gabapentin and pregabalin are commonly prescribed medications to treat pain in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Gabapentin and pregabalin can cause fluid retention, which is hypothesized to be associated with cardiovascular diseases. However, whether long-term use of gabapentin and pregabalin is associated with adverse cardiovascular diseases remains unknown. This study aims to While the exact mechanism is not fully understood, research suggests that gabapentin may interfere with calcium channels in the body, which play a key role in regulating muscle contractions, including those of the heart. This interference with calcium channels can potentially lead to chest pain or discomfort. In this study, we examined the pharmacological mechanisms using microinjection of gabapentin into the NTS and observed regulatory effects on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). Gabapentin can affect your heart rate in a few different ways. In a double-blind, observational study, patients undergoing elective surgery were administered different doses of gabapentin. In rare cases, it can lead to development of new onset congestive heart failure (CHF) or decompensation of pre-existing CHF. We present a case of gabapentin induced CHF with rapid resolution after discontinuing the medication. In addition, animal studies have shown that gabapentin can reduce blood pressure, heart rate, vascular function, and left ventricular systolic/diastolic function [31 – 34], potentially leading to adverse cardiovascular events [35 – 37].
