Blurred vision, left bundle-branch block and cardiac failure.
We cared for a patient with progressive renal impairment who presented with blurred vision, QRS broadening and cardiac failure due to chronic cibenzoline intoxication. Treatment consisted of catecholamines and repetitive infusions of Ringer lactate. Cardiac function and symptoms recovered completely.
