Abstract

This article reports myocarditis related to overdose of quetiapine. An 18-year-old female patient who used 25 mg of quetiapine for anxiety disorder attempted suicide with twenty quetiapine pills. The patient developed palpitations, shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, and confusion in the emergency room. ST-elevation and right bundle branch block were detected on D1-aVL lead in the patient's ECG. The cardiac markers were significantly elevated. The patient was hospitalized and treated in the internal medicine intensive care unit. Drug-induced myocarditis was resolved by two weeks of treatment. This case report presents a case of myocarditis induced by quetiapine overdose.
