antibiotics and MI

I thought I remembered reading that use of antibiotics affects the heart
in a negative fashion.  Can anyone tell me if the use of erythromycin
for an upper respiratory infection might provoke angina/myocardial infarction?

    No, it shouldn’t.  Erythromycin does interact with a variety of other
    drugs and could cause different types of toxicity, depending upon the
    other medications taken.  H2
