A member asked:

Does mirtazapine causes irregular heart beat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Controversial: It's a very rare cause of torsades de pointes. An ECG to check for prolonged qtcc ( that may indicate increase risk) should be done every year or every 6 months. Consult your physician. Few studies minimize the risk.
