May warrant vigilance for early amiodarone toxicity even with short courses; single case leaves open monitoring needs in post-MI VT.
Does short-term amiodarone therapy cause early-onset pulmonary toxicity in patients with post-myocardial infarction ventricular tachycardia?
Amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity can occur very early after treatment initiation, highlighting the need for clinical vigilance even with short-term use.
Lee et al. (2013) studied this question.
