Disopyramide-induced ventricular fibrillation.
Abstract
Three cases are described with documented ventricular fibrillation shortly after the patients received disopyramide in moderate dosage. Electrocardiograms showed markedly prolonged Q-T intervals in two patients and a prominent U wave with a prolonged Q-U interval in one patient, but no change in QRS width. Disopyramide-induced ventricular fibrillation appears to be similar to that caused by quinidine and is an indication to discontinue the drug.
