Verapamil: a cause of sudden death in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

British Heart Journal

Abstract

Sudden death was recorded by continuous ambulatory electrocardiographic (Holter) monitoring in a 62 year old man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation, who had been treated for four days with verapamil 360 mg orally. Analysis of the tape showed a third degree atrioventricular block followed by complete asystole. The sudden death could be related to treatment with verapamil.

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.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
