Brundageba Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) On April 9,2020 , USA leading Cardiology Groups made public their caution with regard to blanket use of the combination Hydroxchloroquin/Azithromycin for persons having a cardiac history of certain heart rhythm disorders. There is a risk factor of sudden cardiac arrest for certain cardiac patients. The AHA source is written in "medical lingo " and is very clear to any cardiologist as to WHAT to pre-screen a patient for and as well ,what to watch for in the patient if the drug is prescribed. . As a nurse living here, I'd be inclined to make a copy of that AMA CAUTION if ( God forbid) you ever should get this COVID virus. .................................
