Tamsulosin, sold under the brand name Flomax, is a commonly prescribed medication for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). While generally well-tolerated, this medication can induce life-threatening tachyarrhythmias. Early recognition of this adverse effect can lead to prompt discontinuation of the therapy in an effort to reduce arrhythmia recurrence. Herein we describe a case of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response in a male patient who started on tamsulosin two days prior.
坦索罗辛,以商品名“哈乐”销售,是一种常用于治疗良性前列腺增生(BPH)的药物。虽然一般耐受性良好,但这种药物可诱发危及生命的快速性心律失常。早期识别这种不良反应可促使及时停药,以减少心律失常的复发。在此,我们描述一例男性患者,在开始服用坦索罗辛两天后出现伴有快速心室反应的心房颤动。
