Teriparatide-induced atrial tachycardia

BMJ Case Reports
Jeffrey B Ziffra, Brian Olshansky

Abstract

We present the case of a patient who presented with worsening chest pain and tachycardia. We were able to monitor her remotely through her pacemaker. She had been started on the injectable medication teriparatide (Forteo) and since then she had an increase in her symptoms. She was found to have intermittent atrial tachycardia with 1:1 conduction and occasional atrioventricular block transiently, coinciding with her injection of teriparatide. This specific-associated arrhythmia has yet to be described.

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.

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.
