Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 77-year-old man presented to the emergency department with dizziness and a fluttering sensation in the chest. Electrocardiography demonstrated sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia with two different morphologies (right bundle branch block, left bundle branch block). The patient had taken herbal medicine containing Ephedra sinica for two days. Based on the findings of a thorough work up, I concluded that both of the ventricular tachycardias might have been caused by this herbal medicine.
