    AbstractInhibitors of serotonin uptake are drugs prescribed without recognised cardiovascular risk. The authors report a case of torsades de pointes following Citalopram ingestion. In this patient, the proof of reintroduction in a hospital environment resulted in prolongation of the QT interval. Screening of patients for acquired or congenital long QT intervals is therefore necessary before starting treatment with Citalopram.
