Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 76-year-old woman presented with dyspnea caused by pulmonary thromboembolism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). During management for COPD, the patient experienced ventricular tachycardia, which was controlled by the administration of amiodarone. Six weeks after amiodarone administration, she visited the hospital due to aggravation of the dyspnea. A chest computed tomography scan indicated increased haziness in both lung fields. The haziness observed in the lung fields and dyspnea improved several weeks after discontinuation of amiodarone treatment and initiation of glucocorticoid treatment.
