If you actually had any experience with Azithromycin you would notice there is warning about the heart thing on/in the box! It is known and possible risk and if you google it gives you like millions of results. That's why even lyme clinics using long term azithromycin do ECG before and sometimes during treatment when it's long term. This is something patient and doctor should be at least aware of, so please don't confuse patients by denying the existence of the risk.
Fair enough. When I took it three or four years ago there was no such warning on the box in my country. Also a recent study found that there was no increase in cardiovascular death, so the information appears to be conflicting. My only point was that prescription of Azithromycin is very common for all kinds of infections, I know about at least a couple of people who got it recently prescribed for a trivial infection as first-line antibiotic.
