Acute fatal amiodarone-induced lung toxicity after CABG surgery
2011
Amiodarone is a commonly used anti-arrhythmic agent, with well-recognized chronic toxicity. Amiodarone’s potential to cause acute lung damage even though less known can be occasionally severe or life threatening. Herein, we report a case of a patient with fatal outcome who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and after a short course of therapy with amiodarone for postoperative ventricular tachycardia developed acute amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity.
