%X We report a case of a 29-years-old patient who tried to commit suicide by taking a high dose of verapamil (22 pills containing 240 mg, each, equivalent to 5.28 g). Ten hours after the ingestion he presented a complete atrioventricular heart block which was resolved with medical treatment presenting a normal ECG 36 hours later. To our knowledge this is the only published case of intoxication caused by such a high dose of verapamil.<p /> <p>Language: es</p>
