Ayurveda is an East Indian tradition involving the treatment of medical ailments through the use of herbal medications. A previously asymptomatic 62-year-old man with a history of hypertension and stable coronary artery disease developed paresthesias and fascicular and ventricular tachycardia after ingestion of an Ayurveda bowel regimen containing substrates from the Aconitum species, which is a known neurotoxin and cardiotoxin. Findings of electrophysiologic study and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were within normal limits, pointing to the ingestion of Aconitum as the most likely source of his arrhythmia.
阿育吠陀是一种东印度传统医学，涉及使用草药治疗疾病。一名既往无症状的62岁男性，有高血压和稳定型冠状动脉疾病史，在摄入一种含有乌头属植物成分的阿育吠陀肠道疗法药物后，出现感觉异常、束支性和室性心动过速，乌头属植物是一种已知的神经毒素和心脏毒素。电生理研究和心脏磁共振成像结果均在正常范围内，提示摄入乌头属植物是其心律失常最可能的原因。
