Effects of onabotulinumtoxinA on cardiac function following intradetrusor injections.

In conclusion, onabotulinumtoxinA intradetrusor injections do not seem to affect resting state cardiac function. Short-term changes such as total power might rather result from natural cardio-vascular responses to the procedure itself (e.g. discomfort, stress). Further detailed investigations also under physical stress and repeated injections are necessary to fully exclude systemic cardiac side effects of onabotulinumtoxinA intradetrusor injections.
