May prompt ECG vigilance in loperamide overdose; hypothesis-generating for Brugada unmasking and arrhythmia risk.
Case Report (n=1)
High-dose loperamide abuse can lead to severe cardiac toxicity, including life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and the unmasking of a Brugada ECG pattern.
Leung et al. (2016) conducted a case report in High-dose loperamide toxicity (n=1). High-dose loperamide was evaluated. High-dose loperamide ingestion was associated with unstable bradycardia, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and the unmasking of a Brugada ECG pattern in a single patient.
