title: Treatment of chronic symptomatic supraventricular bradyarrhythmias with transdermal scopolamine.
abstract: The management of symptomatic bradyarrhythmias can be challenging in patients in whom cardiac pacing is not indicated, such as in the terminally ill or severely demented. We applied a transdermal scopolamine patch on one such patient with resultant substantial improvement in his supraventricular bradyarrhythmia.
