    Abstract

    Sudden death was recorded by continuous ambulatory electrocardiographic (Holter) monitoring in a 62 year old man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation, who had been treated for four days with verapamil 360 mg orally. Analysis of the tape showed a third degree atrioventricular block followed by complete asystole. The sudden death could be related to treatment with verapamil.
