I wouldn't worry about the cardiovascular effects. I'm on nortriptyline and have not had any problems. I have had a heart attack and cardiac arrest in the past from my anorexia (was not taking nortriptyline at the time) and my pdoc didn't mind prescribing it for me even though he knew my history.
To make you feel better, perhaps you could get an EKG and then get another one after a few months on Nortriptyline. Perhaps that would ease your mind a bit.
