We present the most relevant data of a series of 8 cases of PTA coming from our environment. We highlight the onset of PTA with low doses of amiodarone (equal or lower than 400 mg/day), the affectation of only aged patients (range 63-77 years) and always, except in one case, during the first five years of treatment with amiodarone. Dyspnea was the most frequent symptom. The definition of PTA is mainly clinical-radiological and it has no biochemical, radiological or functional unique characteristics, determining the need for a careful differential diagnosis. The prognosis was excellent when the administration of amiodarone was stopped and, in some cases, steroids were added. |
