Here is the information provided by Abbvie on the potential of cardiac adverse effects secondary to medication. Trust the advice of your physician if you are taking them now and be sure to follow up if you don't hear something soon.

Has anyone had any problems with their heart medication while on Vikera-pac w/ riba. Or any other?  This Harvoni scare is not favorable.  Anyone advised to change medication? My Doc said he was going to do a check.
