General population and patients with schizophrenia |
47 ± SD |
January 1996 to March 1999 |
Group 1. General population (n=12,088) Patients with schizophrenia (n=3,022) Group 2. General population (n=9,175) Patients with schizophrenia (n=2,405) |
The population of patients with schizophrenia was prescribed: phenothiazine, haloperidol and risperidone. These data were obtained from governmental health database records. Home interviews and a medical examination at the local health center or an interview and exam health at home were carried out |
(1) Identification of diseases by ICD 09. (2) Validation in databases. (3) Adjustments to CV risk factors limited to administrative data. (4) Patients treated exclusively by a psychiatrist were not likely to be identified for the study unless they were hospitalized |
AMI Arrhythmia Mortality |
AMI: 0.9 (95CI 0.6-1.4) Arrhythmia: adjustedrelative risk 1.5 (95CI 1.2-1.8) Mortality: adjusted relative risk 2.2 (95CI 1.7-2.8) |

Patients with schizophrenia, ONAP and affective psychosis |
53 ± SD |
September 2000 to June 2001 |
Without CV disease 1. Without psychotic disorder (n=53) 2. ONAP (n=69) With CV disease 1. Without psychotic disorder (n=857) 2. Schizophrenia (n=8) 3. ONAP (n=10) |
Chlorprothixene, methotrimeprazine, chlorpromazine, promazine, melperone, sulpiride, flunarizine, haloperidol, flupenthixol, zuclopenthixol, pericyazine, perphenazine and atypical (clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone, quetiapine, amitriptyline, clomipramine, imipramine, doxepin, nortriptyline, and trimipramine). Identified data via of household interviews |
(1) A small number of cases. (2) Limiting the statistical power. (3) Electrocardiogram not monitored long enough. (4) Dosage of the unregistered medication |
AMI Arrhythmia |
AMI: 95CI 5.4-63.5 Arrhythmia: 95CI 6.3-64.6 |

Patients with schizophrenia and baseline group |
41 ± SD |
10 years |
Group 1. 25,157 patients taking quetiapine Group 2. 24,883 patients taking risperidone Group 3. 24,514 patients taking ziprasidone Group 4. 25,269 patients taking olanzapine Group 5. 24,900 (baseline) |
Four hypothetical groups were generated, for olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone and ziprasidone |
(1) Modified risk equation, resulting in a lower incidence of CV events and high risk. (2) Lack of data in clinical trials. (3) Simulates future events, under- or overestimate the actual rate of coronary events |
Mortality |
9,389 assigned to the drug olanzapine, quetiapine drug to 9,341, 9,228 to the drug risperidone and ziprasidone drug to 9,074 |
