Paroxetine mitigates cardiac remodelling by doxorubicin and increases survival

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer drug. However, its use is hampered by the development of very mortal cardiomyopathy. Here, we investigate whether the co-administration of the antidepressant paroxetine (P), known to exert beneficial cardiovascular effects, would provide effective cardiop...

Paroxetine mitigates cardiac remodelling by doxorubicin and increases survival
description Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer drug. However, its use is hampered by the development of very mortal cardiomyopathy.
