The clinical features including initially resistant ventricular fibrillation and biochemical findings are reported. Occurrence, signs, symptoms, mechanisms of action of both strychnine and aconitine and treatment particularly with regard to the life-threatening arrhythmia induced by aconitine are briefly reviewed.
