Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Cardiac side effect chance is not significant. Drug trial fails to mention the potential cardiac side effects associated with this medication (Hepcivir L - a combination of Sofosbuvir and Ledipasvir). It means any cardiac side effect is likely to be less than 1% and cannot be attributed to this drug.
