Can ED drugs trigger AFib?

[jsanta]

I’ve had three ablations and two conversions. My heart is running perfect for the last year no AFib episodes . Have not had any alcohol in eight months, caffeine or spicy foods which are known to trigger a fib. I was just wondering if Cialis or other ED drugs like Viagra can trigger an A FB episode?

No problem for me and my EP has told me he is quite happy for me to do so.

Have tried to post a link here that gives good advice, but it doesn't work. Will try and send it to you as a private message.

Cialis is a trigger for me for sure. Afib usually a day or two after taking it,

My EP said it is OK to take either. A top urologist told a friend that it is all right and that all his cardiologist friends take Cialis as it is good for the heart

Of course sidanafil started life as a heart drug didn’t it.

Yes and one article I read said that it only needed one tablet every six months helped one heart condition. I must search it out again.
