Abstract

A 58-year-old man ingested 900 mg prenylamine with the intention of suicide. Several hours later he developed a gastrointestinal reaction, considerable weakness, vertigo, and recurrent syncope. ECG records revealed sinus bradycardia with numerous premature nodal and auricular beats and disturbances in depolarization and polarization of ventricles. The administration of Alupent in a dose of 15 mg/day produced recession of the clinical and electrocardiographic changes.
