Which drugs may cause or exacerbate heart failure?
This scientific statement provides a comprehensive reference for healthcare providers to identify and avoid drugs that can cause or exacerbate heart failure.
Clinicians should review medications against this list in heart failure patients; extends prior evidence into an actionable clinical reference.
Heart failure is a common, costly, and debilitating syndrome that is associated with a highly complex drug regimen, a large number of comorbidities, and a large and often disparate number of healthcare providers. All of these factors conspire to increase the risk of heart failure exacerbation by direct myocardial toxicity, drug-drug interactions, or both. This scientific statement is designed to serve as a comprehensive and accessible source of drugs that may cause or exacerbate heart failure to assist healthcare providers in improving the quality of care for these patients.
