Abstract

The author presents three case-records of acute intoxication with class I antiarrhythmics (according to Vaughan-Williams classification) with a very serious course. In the review of the literature the danger of intoxication with these drugs is demonstrated with regard to their therapeutic range, life endangering course, high morgality and slight possibilities of detoxication.
