    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Clinical Toxicology

    Background:

    • Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker used to treat hypertension and arrhythmias.
    • Overdoses can cause significant cardiovascular toxicity.

    Observation:

    • A healthy 18-year-old male ingested 2 gm of verapamil.
    • He presented with mild hypotension, sinus node depression, and AV dissociation.
    • Electrocardiogram showed repolarization changes and first-degree atrioventricular block.

    Findings:

    • The His bundle electrogram revealed a prolonged atrio-His interval (155 msec).
    • The patient recovered fully within 24 hours with a normal electrocardiogram.
    • This case illustrates the electrocardiologic effects of a large oral verapamil dose.

    Implications:
