Abstract
- Imipramine(Tofranil(R)) is one of the tricyclic antidepressants commonly used in depressive symptoms or enuresis. An accidental or nonaccidental poisoning of imipramine is common today. A 16 years old girl was admitted to Seoul National university Hospital because of unocnsciousness and frequent attacks of seizure after the impulsive ingestion of 1.4gm of imipramine. She showed variable arrhythmias such as complete RBBB, secod degree AV block and ventricular tachycardia and recovered from poisoning without residual myocardial damage. We present a case of imipramine poisoning with cardiac arrhythmias with review of literatures.
