title: Trazodone-related exercise-induced nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.
abstract: A 79-year-old woman in the course of a syncope evaluation is shown to have a trazodone-related cardiac arrhythmia confirmed by drug rechallenge. This nontricyclic antidepressant should be considered as potentially arrhythmogenic despite its generally favorable cardiovascular profile.
