One of the drugs that are widely used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation is amiodarone. Despite considerable prolongation of the corrected QT interval and a substantial degree of bradycardia, amiodarone exhibits a remarkably low frequency of pro-arrhythmic events and <1.0% incidence of torsades de pointes, mostly after long-term usage. We present a case of an 80-year-old female with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation accompanied by acute heart failure treated by short-term parenteral amiodarone therapy and development of torsades de pointes.
胺碘酮是广泛用于治疗心房颤动的药物之一。尽管校正QT间期显著延长且有相当程度的心动过缓,但胺碘酮致心律失常事件的发生率极低,尖端扭转型室速的发生率<1.0%,且大多发生在长期用药后。我们报告一例80岁女性阵发性心房颤动伴急性心力衰竭患者,经短期静脉应用胺碘酮治疗后发生尖端扭转型室速。
