Amiodarone, considered a potent antiarrhythmic, is known to cause pulmonary toxicity. Chronic interstitial pneumonitis is the most common presentation. However, acute pulmonary toxicity is rare and has a higher case fatality rate. We present a 61-year-old patient with persistent atrial fibrillation who, after a one-month treatment with oral amiodarone at a low dose impregnation of 400 mg/day, develops acute pulmonary toxicity, with radiographic and tomographic resolution after antiarrhythmic suspension and steroid treatment.
胺碘酮被认为是一种强效抗心律失常药物,已知会导致肺毒性。慢性间质性肺炎是最常见的表现。然而,急性肺毒性罕见且病死率较高。我们报告一例61岁持续性心房颤动患者,在以400毫克/天的低剂量口服胺碘酮治疗1个月后发生急性肺毒性,在停用抗心律失常药物并给予类固醇治疗后,影像学表现和断层扫描结果有所改善。
