Paraquat-Induced Delayed Atrial Fibrillation

摘要: Introduction: Paraquat (1, 1’-dimethyl-4, 4’-dipyridylium) is a nonselective potent herbicide. But, it can cause dramatic toxicity when misused. When ingested, paraquat toxic to the lung, kidney, heart, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract, etc. Case report: A patient visited our emergency room after accidental ingestion of The was treated with cyclophosphamide, steroid therapy, hemoperfusion three times consecutively. His condition had improved. Shortly following treatment, presented palpitation dizziness. systolic blood pressure 60 mmHg electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation rapid ventricular response. Synchronized electrical cardioversion provided amiodarone administered. heart returned back normal sinus rhythm vital signs stabilized. Discussion: one most severely affected organs in poisoning cardiac disturbances lead fatal complications. Therefore, important delve deeper into manifestations for proper management.
