In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks sits down with Dr. Jasmin Mujkanovic, a cardiologist and researcher from Copenhagen University Hospital, to explore a critical question: Could certain antidepressants be linked to sudden cardiac death?

Dr. Mujkanovic breaks down the findings from his recent study, which was presented at the 2025 European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Conference. He begins by explaining what sudden cardiac death actually is, and why it drew his scientific curiosity. From there, he walks us through how the study was conducted, the types of antidepressants examined, and what the data revealed. He unpacks possible biological mechanisms behind the observed link, key takeaways for both patients and clinicians, and the broader implications for mental health and heart health.

Whether you're a healthcare professional, someone taking antidepressants, or simply curious about the intersection of mental and heart health, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
