Abstract
- A 55-year-old woman was admitted because of sudden onset of chest tightness after ingesting a herbal medicine. She experienced refractory ventricular arrhythmia after admission. Electrocardiography showed ST-segment abnormalities that mimicked acute myocardial infarction, but the coronary artery was found to be normal. After conservative management, the cardiac rhythm was stabilized. This was an unusual case of aconitine intoxication that mimicked acute myocardial infarction.
