Vasopressin-Induced Ventricular Arrhythmia

Vasopressin-Induced Ventricular Arrhythmia

Long QT and ventricular tachyarrhythmias can occur due to a number of causes including dyselectrolytemia, drugs, and intracranial lesions, predominantly subarachnoid hemorrhage. Here the authors report a rare case of acquired long QT with R on T ventricular ectopics due to vasopressin in the setting...

Description
Summary:Long QT and ventricular tachyarrhythmias can occur due to a number of causes including dyselectrolytemia, drugs, and intracranial lesions, predominantly subarachnoid hemorrhage. Here the authors report a rare case of acquired long QT with R on T ventricular ectopics due to vasopressin in the setting of intracerebral bleed, which reverted on withdrawal of vasopressin.
