Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pulmonology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Amiodarone is an effective antiarrhythmic drug.
  • Chronic use is associated with various toxicities.
  • Pulmonary toxicity is a serious adverse effect.

Observation:

  • Two cases of pulmonary toxicity from long-term amiodarone use are detailed.
  • Radiological findings in these cases are highlighted.

Findings:

  • Specific radiological features can indicate amiodarone-induced lung injury.
  • Early diagnosis relies on recognizing these imaging patterns.

Implications:

  • Radiologists and clinicians should be aware of these specific radiological signs.
