What the FDA AER plate says about Tachycardia

Signature read: 1,083 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Tachycardia in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 4,645 named reports in the openFDA extract. 1,083 of 4,645 reports were death-coded (23.3% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Urinary tract infection (±36 reports). Lead species Dog (3,579). Lead co-reported drug Moxidectin (536).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Moxidectin appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
