    Abstract

    Patients with depression and cardiovascular disease must be monitored carefully during pharmacotherapy because their depressive symptoms and/or antidepressant medications may have a negative impact on heart function. Mirtazapine is considered a safe and effective antidepressant drug used in the treatment of cardiovascular and other systemic diseases. This report, however, documents a case of myocardial infarction that appeared to be associated with mirtazapine administration.
