HelloZoloft is sertraline. It is an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) group of drug. The drug is approved for use in anxiety and panic disorders. It is safe to use in cardiac patients. Out of all SSRIs sertraline is safest to use in patients of cardiac lesions. It don't cause QTc prolongation so can be given with PSVT and SVT patients. Over all low doses are used but there is no risk as per guidelines. Hope this helps you, thanks
