    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Amiodarone is a widely used antiarrhythmic medication.
    • Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is a cardiac condition requiring long-term management.
    • Long-term amiodarone therapy can be associated with various toxicities.

    Observation:

    • A patient with WPW experienced subacute pneumonitis.
    • The pneumonitis developed during long-term amiodarone treatment.
    • Pulmonary symptoms emerged specifically when the amiodarone maintenance dose was increased to 800 mg/day.

    Findings:

    • Transbronchial biopsy revealed chronic pneumonitis.
    • Immunofluorescence studies of lung specimens showed C3 deposition.
    • Pulmonary signs and symptoms resolved spontaneously within two months of amiodarone discontinuation.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights amiodarone-induced pneumonitis as a potential complication in WPW patients.
    • Monitoring for pulmonary toxicity is crucial during high-dose amiodarone therapy.
    • Early drug cessation can lead to favorable pulmonary outcomes.
