Abstrait
A case of long-lasting nodal arrhythmia and severe hypotension following DC cardioversion for atrial flutter is presented. The patient, treated with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor sertraline and with sotalol, thiopental and digoxin, showed no sign of organic disease or drug intoxication. We suggest that drug interaction in combination with the DC shock and an altered sympaticus/parasympaticus balance during anaesthesia provoked the incident.
