摘要: The case of a 69-year-old woman who developed muscle weakness on chronic amiodarone treatment is reported. Muscle biopsy showed vacuolar alterations and marked accumulation its metabolite desethylamiodarone was found in the sample despite normal blood levels. Amiodarone-induced morphological may be related to actual tissue concentration rather than level.
