Abstract
Numerous highly effective antiarrhythmic agents are now available which have a powerful anti-arrhythmia action but may cause severe side effects in the case of inappropriate use. We report the case of a patient with WPW syndrome in whom inappropriate administration of verapamil during an episode of atrial fibrillation and rapid ventricular response caused ventricular fibrillation.
