Key result
Calcium chloride infusion reverses verapamil-induced hypotension and profound bradycardia in an HCM patient.
Why the study?
Verapamil-related hemodynamic and electrophysiological complications have been documented in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and calcium therapy to reverse these effects has not been widely publicized.
Does calcium chloride infusion reverse hypotension and profound bradycardia caused by intravenous verapamil?
Case Report (n=1)
No
Does calcium chloride infusion reverse hypotension and profound bradycardia caused by intravenous verapamil?
Calcium chloride infusion can effectively reverse profound bradycardia and hypotension caused by intravenous verapamil in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support calcium chloride for verapamil-induced bradycardia; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective validation.
Danielle Morris (1983) conducted a case report in Verapamil-induced hypotension and profound bradycardia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n=1). Calcium chloride was evaluated on Reversal of hypotension and profound bradycardia. Calcium chloride infusion successfully reversed hypotension and profound bradycardia caused by intravenous verapamil therapy in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
