Abstract

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are frequently noticed in modern clinical practice and it’s the main cause of the increasing morbidity and mortality and inflating the cost of care. Patients with cardiovascular disease are particularly vulnerable to ADRs due to their advanced age, polytherapy, and the influence of heart disease on drug metabolism. Knowledge of interplay between patient, drug, and disease is a critical component of safe and effective management and it is still remain not very well known. The most of significant ADRs involving cardiovascular drugs are predictable and therefore preventable. Education of patients in this field it seems to be necessary. Avoidance of polytherapy, and clear communication between physicians, pharmacists, and patients, especially during the transition between the inpatient to outpatient setting, can significant reduce ADR risk.
