ABSTRACT
Chinese medicine plays an important role in providing medical care for people in countries with large Chinese communities, including Hong Kong. The aconite herb is one of the commonly-prescribed ingredients for various clinical problems. However, due to its narrow therapeutic index, toxicities are not uncommonly encountered, including life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like ventricular arrhythmias. We report a 57-year-old woman with reversible intraventricular conduction defect attributed to the use of processed Fuzi.
