How does Clonidine affect heart rate and cardiac function in patients with cardiovascular disorders? What specific risks should patients with arrhythmias be aware of?
Clonidine decreases sympathetic outflow, lowering heart rate and blood pressure, which benefits those with hypertension but poses risks for arrhythmia patients, potentially exacerbating or inducing conditions.
