Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that both these drugs can lead to QT interval prolongation in ECG, thus increasing the risk of cardiac arrhythmia.
These adverse effects are more pronounced in susceptible persons ( suffering from cardiac arrhythmia or with an abnormal ECG).
Anyway, the risk is dose dependent, which means that it is very low when low or average doses are used.
So, just relax.
If you experience palpitations under this therapy, I recommend going to the ER for a resting ECG.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr.Iliri
