Abstract

A fatal case of sodium azide poisoning in which exchange blood transfusions, charcoal hemoperfusion, hemodialysis and potent vasopressor agents failed to prevent the development of circulatory collapse associated with a wide complex cardiac rhythm is presented. The cellular toxin sodium azide resulted in the development of an altered mental status, profound metabolic acidosis, cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation and terminal wide complex arrhythmias), a relative decrease in cardiac output, hypotension and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Further animal studies are needed to gain new approaches for the treatment of this rare cause of human poisoning.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
