Abstract :






We describe the case of a 71-years-old man in chronic hospital hemodialysis who was admitted to the hospital because of symptomatic hypoglycemia. We discovered that this was due to a documented intoxication with cibenzoline, an antiarrhythmic drug, used to treat (supra-)ventricular tachyarrhythmia. In addition we made a short review of the literature concerning cibenzoline intoxication.
