DALLAS — Dallas-based American Heart Association released a statement about cardiovascular evaluation and monitoring of children receiving drugs for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on April 21, 2008. As a result of language in the news release and the statement as published, there have been conflicting interpretations of the recommendations regarding the use of an electrocardiogram (ECG) in assessing children with ADHD who may need treatment with medications. In order to clarify meaning, the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics have released another statement with what they really meant.
