Sildenafil ingestion may trigger life-threatening arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation progressing to ventricular fibrillation, in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Complications in the accessory pathway in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome could cause different clinical conditions by inducing different arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of these arrhythmias and is important as it causes life-threatening arrhythmias. It is known that some drugs, underlying cardiac diseases, and the number of accessory pathways, cause a predisposition to this condition. In the current report, we presented a patient with WPW who was admitted to the emergency department with AF, wide QRS and a rapid ventricular response that progressed to ventricular fibrillation.

İnci et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome (n=1). Sildenaphil was evaluated on Ventricular fibrillation. A single patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome developed atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response progressing to ventricular fibrillation after ingesting sildenaphil.
