| Popis: |
Phentermine, a very popular diet pill, is reportedly associated with tachycardia but rarely with other cardiac arrhythmias. We report a 36-year-old woman with no significant past medical history who developed supraventricular tachycardia after taking phentermine for four months. The supraventricular tachycardia has not recurred after the patient stopped taking the medication. With growing prevalence of obesity, clinicians should be aware of the potential serious side effects of phentermine and people with high cardiovascular risk should avoid using this medication. |
