Two Cases of Acute Liver Failure Caused by Intravenous Amiodarone in the Treatment of Arrhythmia: A Clinical Report
Abstract:Amiodarone is a commonly used class III antiarrhythmic drug. Intravenous amiodarone is clinically used to manage rapid supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias [1-2]. However, amiodarone injection can cause acute liver injury, severe cholestasis, and other lesions. Although rare, these conditions can be potentially fatal. If not detected in time, they can rapidly progress to acute liver failure [3]. Herein, we report two clinical cases of acute liver failure caused by amiodarone injection, providing reference for the safe use of amiodarone injection.
