Transient asymptomatic bradycardia in patients on infusional 5-fluorouracil
Talapatra, K.; Rajesh, I.; Rajesh, B.; Selvamani, B. & Subhashini, J.
Abstract
The incidence of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-related cardiotoxicity seems to be dosage and schedule dependent. Although various other cardiac events have been reported in literature, a series of patients having transient asymptomatic bradycardia has not been reported in the literature as yet. We report such a series of patients who had transient asymptomatic bradycardia after being treated with continuous infusion 5-FU. We plan to do a Holter study during the period of bradycardia in subsequent patients and this may throw more light on the issue.
