313 - CCPN SPOTLIGHT: IS THIS DRUG SAFE FOR MY PATIENT? CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS OF NON-CARDIOVASCULAR DRUGS

Saturday, October 25, 2025
10:00am - 11:00am ET
Room:207

Target Audience: General: All cardiovascular (clinical and research) health professionals, Trainee (clinical)

Workshop Description: Cardiology consultations often include clinical questions around the safety of non-cardiac medications with cardiovascular adverse effects in both cardiac and non-cardiac patients. Answering these requires knowledge of the medication in question, rates and severity of reported cardiac adverse effects, patient factors that may increase risk and an approach to weighing both the benefits and risks of continued treatment. The aim of this workshop is to discuss common non-cardiac medications that cause cardiac adverse effects and approaches to assessment and mitigation of risk using a case-based format. Interactive components will include polling, panel discussion and a Q&A period.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session participants will be able to:
  • rist common non-cardiac medications associated with cardiovascular adverse effects;
  • outline an approach to assessing the risk of non-cardiac medication in causing cardiovascular adverse effects; and
  • describe the clinical management of adverse cardiovascular effects with non-cardiac medications in both the cardiac and non-cardiac patient.
