Abstract
A patient with acute myocardial infarction and sinus bradycardia was treated with 0.5 mg atropine i.v. Shortly after the injection he showed a sinus tachycardia, then developed ventricular ectopic beats, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, which was treated successfully with electrical countershock.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
