"ADHD medications — both stimulants and non-stimulants — do not place patients of any age at greater risk for cardiovascular events such as heart failure and hypertension. This groundbreaking finding comes from a new meta-analysis of 19 observational studies, including 3.9 million participants, that found no statistically significant association between ADYD medications and cardiovascular disease (CVD), even among middle-aged and older adults. The analysis, published November 23 in JAMA Network Open, is the most comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal observational studies to date on the association between ADHD medication use and the risk of CVD. It included patients from the United States, South Korea, Canada, Denmark, Spain, and Hong Kong. It found no associations between ADHD medication use and a higher incidence of CVD, however, it did recommend further research on the risk of cardiac arrest and tachyarrhythmias among female patients and patients with pre-existing CVD."
