Obesity is a rising epidemic worldwide driving people to search for remedy through nonconventional therapies. Hydroxycut products are popular supplements used as weight loss aids. Many reports revealed serious adverse effects related to their ingestion. We report the case of a 37-year-old healthy male patient who presented following an episode of syncope. On telemetry, he manifested recurrent sinus node arrests, including a symptomatic 24 s sinus pause. The patient admitted to taking Hydroxycut Hardcore for 10 days previously. After discontinuation of the drug, his symptoms completely resolved. This is the first case of Hydroxycut-associated syncope secondary to bradyarrhythmia.
肥胖在全球范围内呈上升趋势,促使人们寻求非传统疗法来治疗。Hydroxycut产品是常用的减肥辅助补充剂。许多报告显示,服用这些产品会产生严重的不良反应。我们报告了一例37岁健康男性患者,他在一次晕厥发作后前来就诊。通过遥测,发现他反复出现窦房结停搏,包括一次长达24秒的有症状窦性停搏。该患者承认此前服用Hydroxycut Hardcore达10天。停药后,他的症状完全消失。这是首例因缓慢性心律失常导致的与Hydroxycut相关的晕厥病例。
