|October 1, 1985
Summary
Amiodarone pulmonary toxicity can recur early after re-exposure, even before symptoms appear. Monitoring lung diffusion capacity may help detect early signs of amiodarone toxicity.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Pulmonology
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic drug with known pulmonary toxicity.
- Pulmonary toxicity from amiodarone can be severe and potentially life-threatening.
