This scientific publication reviews the cardiovascular (CV) effects of ADHD medication and recommendations for monitoring clinical effects. The impression that ADHD medications cause significant CV risk is diminished when the literature is review and judicious monitoring of blood pressure and pulse are performed. Misinformation about CV risks is mitigated when the research literature is understood.
