    This case report details lithium poisoning in a 66-year-old man, revealing sinus node dysfunction and conduction abnormalities. Lithium

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Clinical Toxicology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Lithium salts are widely prescribed for bipolar disorder.
    • Lithium toxicity can manifest with various systemic effects.
    • Cardiac complications are a known, though less common, presentation of lithium toxicity.

    Observation:

    • A 66-year-old male presented with symptoms indicative of lithium poisoning.
    • Electrocardiographic findings revealed significant sinus node dysfunction.
    • Conduction-tissue modifications were also noted, suggesting broader cardiac involvement.

    Findings:

    • The patient's condition was attributed to lithium salt poisoning.
    • Specific cardiac abnormalities included impaired sinus node function and altered conduction pathways.

  • Review of literature and cellular mechanisms supports lithium's role in these cardiac disturbances.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of cardiac monitoring in patients treated with lithium.
    • Underscores the potential for severe cardiac adverse effects even with therapeutic lithium use.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the diagnosis and management of lithium-induced cardiotoxicity.
