Abstract EN
We report the case of a person who went into cardiac arrest after being given chlorpromazine for hiccups and was subsequently diagnosed with congenital Long QT Syndrome.
Long QT Syndrome is an uncommon, congenital condition that carries a high risk of sudden cardiac death.
Clinicians need to recognize the risk that chlorpromazine may prolong the QTc and prepare to manage potential complications.
