IV lidocaine ≤100 mg showed no hemodynamic changes in this case; leaves open confirmation of safety in larger heart disease cohorts.
Does intravenous lidocaine cause adverse hemodynamic effects in patients with heart disease?
Intravenous lidocaine at doses of 100 mg or less does not produce clinically significant adverse hemodynamic effects in patients with heart disease.
Schumacher et al. (1968) studied this question.
