Ablysinol Warnings/Precautions

Warnings/Precautions

Should only be administered under supervision of a trained and experienced cardiologist. Transient or persistent heart block. Baseline PQ interval >160ms, baseline minimum HR <50bpm, baseline LV outflow gradient >70mmHg, max QRS during first 48hrs >155ms, 3rd-degree AV block during procedure, no clinical recovery between 12–48hrs post-op, >60yrs: risk for permanent pacemaker dependency. Increased risk of excessive tissue necrosis with higher volume used or higher number of septal branches injected to reduce LV outflow tract gradient. Perform continuous ECG monitoring for 48hrs post-op. Elderly. Pregnancy: not recommended; postpone until postpartum period. Nursing mothers.
