Sinus bradycardia is reported as an adverse effect of high-dose glucocorticoid therapy. We report three cases of systemic lupus erythematosus, wherein intravenous pulse methylprednisolone was administered. The patients' average baseline heart rate was 72 beats/min, which decreased 30% from baseline at 61 h after beginning the therapy. The average minimum heart rate was 38 beats/min, and this rate continued for 169 h on average. No other causes for bradycardia were found, suggesting that the administration of glucocorticoid pulse therapy resulted in decreased heart rate.
窦性心动过缓被报道为大剂量糖皮质激素治疗的一种不良反应。我们报告了3例系统性红斑狼疮患者,他们接受了静脉注射甲基强的松龙脉冲治疗。患者的平均基线心率为72次/分钟,在开始治疗后61小时,心率较基线下降了30%。平均最低心率为38次/分钟,且该心率平均持续了169小时。未发现其他导致心动过缓的原因,提示糖皮质激素脉冲治疗导致了心率下降。
