Hi.. all the tricyclic antidepressants have cardiovascular side effects. The mechanism through which TCAs cause adverse cardiovascular effects is complex. They have significant activity as antagonists of α1-, H1-, H2- and M-receptors and block Na+ and potassium gene channels. Overall care should be taken in prescribing TCAs in patients who have pre-existing cardiovascular issues. However 10 mg is a very low dosage. It may not have much effect.
