> One drug most likely to cause cardiac problems in people with pre-existing cardiac conditions is viagra (also cialis and other similar drugs). I imagine a much higher percentage of men using viagra, etc., die of heart attacks than die of heart attacks while using geodon or other psychiatric drugs. Yet docs don't screen patients for cardiac problems before prescribing viagra, etc.
Did not know that about those meds, but not surprising as they affect blood vessels. Thinking about it though, whenever I've started with a new doc, they take a history, and heart problems is a checkbox on the list. I would hope that info might have some bearing on what gets prescribed.
