Why the study?

Does intravenous isoproterenol hydrochloride control recurrent Stokes-Adams seizures in a patient with complete heart block?

Structured PICO

Does intravenous isoproterenol hydrochloride control recurrent Stokes-Adams seizures in a patient with complete heart block?

Population

1 patient (67-year-old woman) with complete heart block, recurrent Stokes-Adams seizures secondary to ventricular tachycardia, hypertension, congestive heart failure, and left ventricular enlargement.

Intervention

Intravenous isoproterenol hydrochloride in increasingly large doses

Outcome

Control of recurrent Stokes-Adams seizures secondary to ventricular tachycardiahard clinical

Intravenous isoproterenol can be used in increasingly large doses to control Stokes-Adams seizures secondary to ventricular tachycardia in complete heart block without causing toxicity.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

May support temporary isoproterenol titration in refractory Stokes-Adams seizures; leaves open need for controlled trials before broader adoption.
