Morphine and Right ventricular dysfunction - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Right ventricular dysfunction is reported as a side effect among people who take Morphine (morphine sulfate), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, also take Zofran, and have Primary myelofibrosis.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Right ventricular dysfunction when taking Morphine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 180,723 people who have side effects when taking Morphine from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
