Is Chantix The Cause For Congestive Heart Failure?

I was told my heart was enlarged and during the same appointment given a prescription for Chantix, 6 weeks later I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Did the Chantix bring on the heart failure problem? I have never had heart problems prior to this.

Hello

No, the Chantix did not cause the congestive heart failure.

The congestive heart failure was due to your enlarged heart and that may be a cardiomyopathy that you've had for some time
