Abstract

The paper reports a case of a 16-year-old girl who was admitted to hospital in a state of shock having attempted to commit suicide by taking ten 300 mg pills of propafenone (Rytmonorm). The patient showed severe atrio-ventricular and intraventricular conduction disorders; an infusion of bicarbonate if soda and dopamine was immediately given and a temporary heart electro-stimulator was inserted. Conduction disorders gradually disappeared over the course of 36 hours and the patient was discharged with sinusal rhythm and good hemodynamic balance on the third day after admittance.
