Hemodynamically significant atrial fibrillation in a previously healthy man with ethylene glycol toxicity

Ryan Thompson, Allan R. Mottram

Abstract


Ethylene glycol ingestion is a well-described phenomenon that results in altered mental status, anion gap metabolic acidosis, and renal failure. Cardiac sequelae of ethylene glycol ingestion have not been well described in the literature. We report a case of a young, previously healthy man who developed atrial fibrillation successfully treated with electrical cardioversion in the setting of a large ethylene glycol ingestion with a late presentation.
