Ondansetron-induced cardiac arrest and cardiomyopathy with successful reversal: a case report

Our case emphasizes the need to be cautious when administering ondansetron, and electrolyte imbalance is considered a risk factor for cardiac arrhythmias following ondansetron administration. It is then imperative that clinicians consider ondansetron-associated cardiac arrest and cardiomyopathy, take preventive measures, and remain vigilant for any unfavorable incidents that may arise.

Abstract

Our case emphasizes the need to be cautious when administering ondansetron, and electrolyte imbalance is considered a risk factor for cardiac arrhythmias following ondansetron administration. It is then imperative that clinicians consider ondansetron-associated cardiac arrest and cardiomyopathy, take preventive measures, and remain vigilant for any unfavorable incidents that may arise.
