title: [Heart conduction disorders in acute maprotiline poisoning].
abstract: A case is reported of self-poisoning with maprotiline followed by prolonged disorders of intraventricular conduction. The cardiotoxicity of tetracyclic antidepressants was well established, but few cases were reported. Maprotiline pharmacokinetics explained the duration of the cardiovascular side-effects. The severity of maprotiline overdoses should not be underestimated.
