What cardiovascular side effects, such as arrhythmias or QT prolongation, are linked to erythromycin use and how can healthcare providers mitigate these risks in vulnerable patients?
Erythromycin can cause QT prolongation and arrhythmias like torsades de pointes. To mitigate risks, monitor ECGs, adjust doses, and avoid combining with other QT-prolonging drugs.
