29 off label drugs that are necessary and irreplaceable to treat cardiovascular pathologies in children are legitimized by the paediatric working group of the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA). Thus, their use is authorized and they can be supplied by the National Health Service. Such drugs belong to the following classes: antiarrthymics, calcium antagonists, hypocholesterolemics, hypotensives, peripheral vessel dilators, ACE-inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics and sympathicomimetics. RCTs exist for 20 of these drugs; however, for the remaining 9 consensus articles or guidelines that envisage their utilization for said pathologies in children have been produced.
