Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare case of incessant non-sustained ventricular tachycardia potentially triggered by atropine premedication during electroconvulsive therapy.
Kim et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Neuropsychiatric disorder undergoing electroconvulsive therapy (n=1). Atropine premedication during electroconvulsive therapy was evaluated on Incessant non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. Atropine premedication during electroconvulsive therapy possibly triggered a rare case of incessant non-sustained ventricular tachycardia.
