Abstract

Herbal soups are important therapeutic agents used in Chinese medicine for various conditions. Therefore, aconitine-induced poisoning may be frequently encountered in practice among Chinese communities. However, there is limited information regarding life-threatening bidirectional ventricular tachyarrhythmia induced by aconitine intoxication and its management. We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with bidirectional ventricular tachyarrhythmia attributed to the use of processed Fuzi and describe the successful therapeutic approach adopted in this case.
