What Are the Treatment Options for Toxin-Induced Conduction Abnormalities?
Treatment of toxin-induced cardiac conduction abnormalities focuses on removing or neutralizing the offending toxin and providing supportive care. In cases of drug overdose, specific antidotes or reversal agents may be used. For example, atropine can be administered to counteract the effects of organophosphates. In some cases, temporary pacing or other advanced cardiac life support measures may be necessary. Long-term management may involve avoiding future exposure to the toxin and addressing any underlying cardiac issues.
