Abstract
Background: Amlodipine has not been previously reported to cause ventricular tachycardia. Case Report: A 52-year-old patient developed symptomatic sinus bradycardia and multiple episodes of symptomatic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia attributed to amlodipine which resolved after cessation of amlodipine. Conclusion: Although amlodipine was assumed to cause the bradycardia, there is no method to prove whether amlodipine was a direct cause of the symptoms. This could be estimated if the same symptoms occur after restarting amlodipine.
