Article Synopsis
- Many cardiovascular medications are not approved for children due to a lack of studies on their use in the pediatric population, leading to widespread off-label prescribing.*
-
- In a study of 325 pediatric patients with cardiovascular disease, a significant majority (88.3%) received at least one off-label medication, and some patients were prescribed multiple off-label drugs.*
-
- Patients with certain conditions, like single-ventricle physiology or heart failure, were more likely to receive two or more off-label medications, raising concerns about safety and the need for further research.*
