Verapamil-induced polymorphous ventricular tachycardia.

S L Winters, P Schweitzer, J Kupersmith

    Journal of the American College of Cardiology
    |July 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Verapamil, used for supraventricular tachycardia, can cause atypical ventricular tachycardia. This case highlights verapamil as a potential cause of polymorphous ventricular tachycardia.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common cardiac arrhythmia.
    • Intravenous verapamil is frequently used for SVT rate control.

    Observation:

    • A 31-year-old woman developed atypical ventricular tachycardia (VT).
    • The arrhythmia occurred shortly after receiving intravenous verapamil for SVT.

    Findings:

    • The observed arrhythmia was polymorphous ventricular tachycardia.
    • Verapamil administration was temporally associated with the onset of VT.

    Implications:

    • Verapamil should be recognized as a potential pharmacologic cause of ventricular arrhythmias.
    • Clinicians should consider verapamil-induced VT in patients presenting with new-onset ventricular tachycardia.
