Acute verapamil poisoning: Successful treatment with epinephrine

Acute intoxication with verapamil (2400 mg) induced A‐V dissociation and circulatory failure in a 38‐year‐old woman with no previous cardiac disease. Resumption of A‐V conduction was observed after administration of orciprenalin, calcium gluconate, and dopamine, with no effect on blood pressure. Epi...

Zusammenfassung:Acute intoxication with verapamil (2400 mg) induced A‐V dissociation and circulatory failure in a 38‐year‐old woman with no previous cardiac disease. Resumption of A‐V conduction was observed after administration of orciprenalin, calcium gluconate, and dopamine, with no effect on blood pressure. Epinephrine infusion finally restored satisfactory blood pressure level and allowed a favorable outcome.
