On physical exam, his heart rate is 153 and he has a murmur that is heard throughout both systole and diastole. Over the next couple of days, the newborn continues to breathe rapidly and the murmur does not change. An echocardiogram shows no congenital heart anomaly. What medication is contraindicated for this newborn?
