Barnidipine intoxication causing acute myocardial infarction

A diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was established according to electrocardiographic and biochemical parameters, and anti-ischemic medications (acetyl salicylic acid and clopidogrel) were administered to the patient. Because the patient was relatively young, anomalous coro...

Zusammenfassung:A diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was established according to electrocardiographic and biochemical parameters, and anti-ischemic medications (acetyl salicylic acid and clopidogrel) were administered to the patient. Because the patient was relatively young, anomalous coronary arterial anatomy was thought as the source of myocardial ischemia, and coronary angiography with computed tomography was performed. [...]this case is the first case describing barnidipine intoxication and the second one showing a direct link with calcium channel antagonist intoxication and acute myocardial infarction.
