Klor-con and Left ventricular dysfunction - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Left ventricular dysfunction is reported as a side effect among people who take Klor-con (potassium chloride), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, also take Digoxin, and have Cardiac failure congestive.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Left ventricular dysfunction when taking Klor-con. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27,036 people who have side effects when taking Klor-con from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
