Abstract

We report for the first time a case of an acute disabling low-back pain episode during intravenous administration of amiodarone in a patient with atrial fibrillation. The symptoms completely resolved after terminating the infusion, and switching amiodarone from intravenous to oral administration was well tolerated.
