✓ VERIFIED BY DOCTOR

Active Ingredient: RAMIPRIL

QTc Interval Status:
neutre

Clinical Description (Database Summary)

Ramipril tends to prevent QT prolongation in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity model in rats. Also, ACE inhibitors (Ramipril included), exert a beneficial and protective effect by reducing the QT interval. They improve cardiac electrical stability through multiple mechanisms: counteracting the Angiotensin II-induced inhibition of the IKr​ potassium current, normalizing intracellular calcium handling (via the SERCA2a pump), and decreasing sympathetic nervous system drive. Furthermore, they reduce arrhythmogenic remodeling by limiting cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis.
