Abstract

One third of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW) patients develop atrial fibrillation (AF). Amiodarone is a commonly used drug for AF control in this scenario. The use of amiodarone can lead to Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) in some of these patients. Here we report and discuss a case of a WPW patient who went into cardiac arrest shortly after amiodarone infusion was started. J Med Cases. 2012;3(5):300-303 doi: https://doi.org/10.4021/jmc700w
