Περίληψη:
A 70-year-old patient suffering from multihormonal insufficiency
presented several episodes of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
Torsades de pointes. A long QT interval was diagnosed which was due to
hypoparathyroidism-induced hypocalcaemia refractory to the replacement
therapy. Although several antiarrythmic drugs were used, only the
administration with magnesium sulfate provided electrical stability. The
multihormonal deficiency was due to ‘empty sella turcica syndrome’. (C)
