What are the ECG manifestations of acute quinidine poisoning in a child with a normal heart?
What are the ECG manifestations of acute quinidine poisoning in a child with a normal heart?
Acute quinidine poisoning in a normal heart can cause severe arrhythmias including atrial and ventricular tachycardia.
Alerts clinicians to quinidine-induced tachyarrhythmias in children; case report leaves open generalizability and management guidance.
Summary ECG changes are documented in a child who survived ingestion of an unknown quantity of quinidine sulphate. Atrial tachycardia developed with intermittent 2: 1 A.V. response, and recurrent attacks of probable ventricular tachycardia occurred. A plan for the management of acute quinidine poisoning is suggested.
