Abstract |
A young woman with mitral valve prolapse and ventricular tachycardia refractory to numerous antiarrhythmics, received a trial of aprindine. During the course of treatment she developed a severe psychotic reaction that resolved after the drug was stopped. Her psychosis was unassociated with the other dose-related neurological side effects of aprindine, and occurred at borderline therapeutic levels of the drug.
