ResumenLa intoxicación por amitráz típicamente genera una variedad de síntomas tales como bradicardia e hipotensión, con colapso hemodinámico, que pueden ocasionar un riesgo para la vida; además se presenta depresión neurológica y respiratoria, todos estos explicados por una caída del tono simpático a nivel central y periférico. Los defectos en el ritmo cardiaco no son la característica mas sobresaliente de este tipo de intoxicación puesto que no se han descrito efectos cardiotóxicos directos ocasionados por este agente químico. En este artículo se reporta un caso en donde se observa defecto de la conducción cardiaca posterior a la ingestión de amitráz. La toxicidad cardiovascular se manifestó con hipotensión, bradicardia, y además incluyó un bloqueo aurículo-ventricular de II grado Mobitz I, que se resolvió espontáneamente después de 24 de monitorización. Palabras clave: amitráz, intoxicación, bloqueo aurículoventricular CARDIOTOXICITY FOLLOWING AMITRAZ POISONING:A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW AbstractAmitraz poisoning typically produces a variety of symptoms, among others bradycardia and hypotension with hemodynamic collapse, that can be life-threatening; it can also show neurological and respiratory depression, all these explained by a fall in the sympathetic tone at central and peripheral level. Defects in heart rate are not the most outstanding characteristic of this sort of intoxication, since no direct cardio toxic effects have been proven to be caused by this chemical. This article reports a case where cardiac conduction defect is observed after ingestion of amitraz. Cardiovascular toxicity was manifested as hypotension, bradycardia, and also included was a second degree atrioventricular Mobitz I block, which spontaneously reverted after a 24 hour monitoring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
