Abstract

Antipsychotics are currently the mainstay of treatment for patients with schizophrenia as well as other psychotic disorders,but the use of antipsychotics can lead to a significantly increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD),which is approximately twice as common in patients not taking medication.Familiarity with the mechanisms and risk factors of SCD will help clinicians to identify and intervene in SCD early,thereby improving the long-term prognosis of patients receiving antipsychotic medication.This article reviews studies related to the risk of SCD from antipsychotics,the mechanisms of occurrence,and clinical prevention of SCD.
