Galantamine is commonly used to manage symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders. While it is generally well-tolerated, cardiovascular side effects are rare but can be serious. We report the case of a patient who developed a third-degree heart block after initiating galantamine therapy. This case highlights the importance of monitoring patients for cardiac adverse effects when using galantamine and the need for prompt intervention when such effects occur.
加兰他敏常用于治疗阿尔茨海默病和其他认知障碍的症状。虽然它通常耐受性良好,但心血管副作用罕见但可能很严重。我们报告了一例患者在开始加兰他敏治疗后出现三度心脏传导阻滞的病例。该病例强调了在使用加兰他敏时监测患者心脏不良反应的重要性,以及出现此类反应时及时干预的必要性。
