| |
| | |
| * '''Severe [[sinus bradycardia]]''': May precipitate or worsen bradycardia resulting in cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest .
| |
| * '''[[Heart block]]''' greater than first degree: Second- or third-degree [[atrioventricular block]] may precipitate or worsen [[bradycardia]] resulting in cardiogenic shock
| |
| * '''[[cardiac arrest]]''' .
| |
| * '''[[Sick sinus syndrome]]''': May precipitate or worsen bradycardia resulting in [[cardiogenic shock]] and [[cardiac arrest]]
| |
| * '''Decompensated [[heart failure]]''': May worsen [[heart failure]].
| |
| * '''[[Cardiogenic shock]]''': May precipitate further cardiovascular collapse and cause [[cardiac arrest]].
| |
| * '''IV administration of cardiodepressant''' [[calcium-channel antagonists]] (e.g., [[verapamil]]) and BREVIBLOC in close proximity (i.e., while cardiac effects from the other are still present); fatal cardiac arrests have occurred in patients receiving BREVIBLOC and intravenous verapamil.
