Abstract:
Adverse cardiovascular effects are commonly seen in severe theophylline poisoning. Primary ST-T wave changes have not been described previously. We report T wave inversion associated with severe theophylline toxicity in a 33-year-old woman with no evidence of organic heart disease. The T wave inversion resolved after treatment. Physicians should be alerted to possible T wave abnormalities in patients with severe theophylline poisoning.
