A member asked:
Why is it that adrenaline is contraindicated in heart failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CHF: Adrenaline stimulates the heart and vascular vigorously and can trigger arrhtymias and muscle fatigue worsening the heart failure. We do use adrenaline sometimes during cardiac arrest in the hope it will get things going.
