Abstract

Amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity is usually seen in cardiac surgical patients who have received large doses of amiodarone for ventricular arrhythmias over prolonged periods. In this report, we describe a case of amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity after a short course of therapy for postoperative atrial fibrillation.
