reuptake in TCAs could increase the sympathetic activation of the heart (153). It can increase the heart rate and cause orthostatic hypotension (160). The TCA induced orthostatic hypotension can be further aggravated on MI patients who are taking beta blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (161).
