Consumer:

The use of flecainide is contraindicated in patients with cardiogenic shock, second- or third-degree AV block or right bundle-branch block when associated with a left hemiblock(bifascicular block) in the absence of a functional artificial pacemaker, or congenital QT prolongation. Therapy with flecainide should be administered with extreme caution in patients with sick sinus syndrome or bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome due to the risk of sinus bradycardia, pause or arrest.
