ABSTRACT Tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) overdose is a leading cause of death among intentional overdoses. Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy is an emerging antidote for local anesthetic toxicity, and there is animal evidence that lipid therapy may be efficacious in TCA overdose. Furthermore, case reports in humans have described the use of lipid therapy to reverse the toxicity of other lipophilic drugs. Here we report a 25-year-old female presenting with coma and hemodynamic instability following intentional ingestion of amitriptyline. She had multiple episodes of pulseless wide-complex tachycardia despite conventional treatment with chest compressions, cardioversion, lidocaine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, magnesium sulphate, sodium bicarbonate, activated charcoal, and whole bowel irrigation. Twenty percent lipid emulsion was administered intravenously (an initial 150 mL bolus, followed by an infusion at 16 mL/h and a second bolus of 40 mL) over 39 hours (total dose 814 mL) yet resulted in no dramatic changes in hemodynamics or level of consciousness. However, there was a decrease in the frequency of wide-complex tachycardia during the lipid emulsion infusion and a recurrence of wide-complex tachycardia shortly after the infusion was stopped. The patient was discharged from the intensive care unit 11 days later with no lasting physiologic sequelae.

Introduction. Persistent atrial standstill is a rare syndrome characterized by absence of mechanical and electrical atrial activity. The article presents a unique case of atrial standstill in the newborn patient with tachyarrhythmia.Brief description. The first manifestation of atrial standstill in the patient was heart failure (HF) manifestations and wide-complex tachycardia according to electrocardiography, which was identified as ventricular tachycardia. At the local outpatient clinic, the child was prescribed with antiarrhythmic therapy (AAT), which decreased heart rate. Three months later, a transesophageal electrophysiological study was carried out in our center in order to determine the arrhythmia origin. A multiform idioventricular rhythm with a heart rate of 46-119 beats per min was diagnosed, atrial pacing spike (A waves) was not recorded. Given bradyarrhythmia, hemodynamic abnormalities on echocardiography (significant atrial enlargement, decreased contractility), the patient, in order to prevent the risk of sudden cardiac death, underwent implantation of single chamber pacemaker in VVIR mode and bipolar ventricular lead. Anticoagulant therapy was prescribed. After 6-month follow-up, relief of HF symptoms and an increase in left ventricular contractile function was noted.Discussion. Timely diagnosis and implantation of pacemakers allowed avoiding AAT and minimizing the HF symptoms. Continuous ventricular pacing and anticoagulant therapy are important in HF prevention.
