Retrospective of Children With ADHD and Cardiac Symptoms

A Retrospective Study of Children With ADHD and Cardiac Symptoms

There is some evidence suggesting ADHD medication interaction could result in mild myocardial ischemia/infarct.

Children with no previous cardiac history who have been on Adderall for ADHD, have developed acute cardiac symptoms after the addition of Straterra for the treatment of ADHD.

We wish to do a study of the medication interactions of Straterra and other ADHD medications focusing on the cardiac manifestations.

We will collect the following information on each patient: Medical Record Number, Account number, Dates of Admission, Discharge, Treatment or Death, Information Regarding Cardiac Signs and Symptoms, Medication Information, Age, Weight, Diagnoses

Inclusion Criteria:

• ADHD
• myocardial ischemia/infarct
• no previous cardiac history
• added Straterra
• already taking Adderall

Exclusion Criteria:

• those who do not meet inclusion criteria
