title: [Effective intracavitary pacemaking for Taxus baccata-induced cardiac conduction defects and arrhythmias].

Cardiogenic shock, severe cardiac arrhythmias and conduction defects were observed in the course of intoxication. Authors believe that application of transient intracavitary pacemaking significantly contributed to patient recovery.
