Abstract

We report the case of an 82-year-old woman who developed bradyarrhythmia with A-V dissociation and shock, followed by an acute pancreatitis, after ingestion of 2400 mg of verapamil per os for suicidal purposes. Despite her advanced age, the patient promptly improved by a conventional therapy even though started several hours after ingestion of the drug.
