In the second week, the patient developed acute renal insufficiency and the electrocardiogram showed atrioventricular dissociation and ventricular extra-systole (Figure 2-C). Immediately after the digoxin treatment had been stopped, amiodarone infusion has started. Holter monitorization revealed atrioventricular dissociation and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (Figure 2-D). Blood level of Digoxin was within normal reference values. Serial echocardiography was performed and no difference has been observed in the cardiac parameters during the hospitalization. Despite atrioventricular dissociation, we decided to follow-up her without pacemaker implantation due to hemodynamic stability. Although secondary prevention 439
