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