Antimuscarinics, used commonly to treat overactive bladder, may differ in their potential to increase heart rate via effects on cardiac muscarinic M2 receptors. This prospective, 3-way crossover, randomized, double-blind study assessed the heart rate effects of 7 days' exposure to a nonselective M2/M3 receptor blocker (tolterodine; 4 mg/d), a highly selective M3 receptor blocker (darifenacin; 15 mg/d), and placebo in 162 healthy participants > or = 50 years. Heart rate was measured by 24-hour Holter monitoring. Tolterodine significantly increased heart rate versus darifenacin and heart rate versus placebo, while darifenacin did not affect heart rate versus placebo. The proportion of participants with an increase in mean heart rate per 24 hours of > or =5 beats per minute was higher with tolterodine than with darifenacin (P = .0004) or with placebo (P = .0114) but did not differ between darifenacin and placebo. The results show that antimuscarinics exert differential effects on heart rate depending on their muscarinic receptor profile. This should be considered when selecting a treatment.
