Abstract

Four patients are described with prenylamine toxicity. These patients developed life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias due to QT prolongation. The ventricular arrhythmias including polymorphous ventricular tachycardia ('torsade de pointes') responded immediately to lignocaine administration. We stress the need of a careful follow-up in older patients who receive prenylamine.
