| Popis: | The calcium inhibitor diltiazem (Tildiem®) can be given by intracoronary injection as a means of treating coronary spasm [1]. Recent studies have shown that it depresses both sinus function and auriculoventricular conduction, irrespective of whether it is administered orally or intravenously, and both in the present and absence of an underlying sinus disorder [2-4]. To our knowledge, no case of cardiac arrest has previously been reported, though we have also described the present case briefly in French [5]. |
