The other major side effects of amiodarone are discussed separately. (See "Amiodarone: Adverse effects, potential toxicities, and approach to monitoring" .)WEBThe most serious of these is amiodarone pulmonary toxicity (APT). In the present review, we first summarize the clinical use and unique pharmacology of amiodarone, and then discuss the incidence, features and treatment of APT. Finally, current recommendations for monitoring patients requiring amiodarone are presented.WEBNov 29, 2019 · In this paper, we describe a patient who received a chronic home dose of amiodarone for more than three years (cumulative dose >150gr) and showed pulmonary toxicity.

A possible rare side effect of amiodarone treatment is to develop a diffuse parenchymal lung disorder - amiodarone pulmonary toxicity (APT). There is no pathognomonic findings to diagnose APT.WEBAmiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity (AIPT) is among the most serious adverse effects and is a leading cause of death associated with its use. Despite significant advances in the understanding of AIPT, its etiology and pathogenesis remain incompletely understood.WEBAmiodarone pulmonary toxicity can be fatal if not recognized and treated promptly.

Earlier presentations with acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis are rare.WEBMar 1, 1997 · Amiodarone pulmonary toxicity, first described by Rotmensch in 1980, was initially thought to develop in 5-10% of patients and sometimes to be fatal. 6 More recent studies of the drug in patients with heart failure and patients recovering from myocardial infarction have found no pulmonary toxicity. 2 The explanation seems to be that …WEBAmiodarone: Adverse effects, potential toxicities, and approach to monitoring. …of more than 20 percent did not develop pulmonary toxicity over the next year despite continued amiodarone therapy . The treatment of amiodarone pulmonary toxicity typically involves discontinuing the medication ….WEBAmiodarone pulmonary toxicity is, in most cases, reversible upon withdrawal of the drug. Its precise relationship to dose or duration of therapy is still uncertain.WEBIn general, we use corticosteroids for amiodarone pulmonary toxicity when presenting symptoms or findings are severe and we hope to speed recovery of normal gas exchange. Typically, prednisone would be used at 40 to 60 mg daily with a tapering of the dosage over a subsequent two- to six-month period.WEBOct 16, 2012 · Amiodarone is associated with a wide range of adverse effects, including pulmonary toxicity.WEBOct 9, 2016 · One of the more serious adverse effects includes amiodarone pulmonary toxicity (APT). Several pulmonary diseases can manifest including interstitial pneumonitis, organizing pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, pulmonary nodules or masses, and pleural effusion. Incidence of APT varies from …WEBThe determination of whether amiodarone-induced phospholipidosis in the lung is linked to the lung parenchymal injury described in amiodarone pulmonary toxicity (APT) is critical to our understanding of the disease process.WEBJul 1, 2010 · Three different and intertwined mechanisms of lung toxicity have been suggested: (i) a direct toxic effect; (ii) an immune-mediated mechanism; and (iii) the angiotensin enzyme system activation. Mortality ranges from 9% for those who develop chronic pneumonia to 50% for those who develop ARDS.WEBJun 12, 2022 · Amiodarone lung toxicity is the most feared adverse effect of this drug, and pulmonary toxicity is unpredictable. It can be severe and even fatal. It can be a challenge to diagnose, and there is no specific therapy for it.WEBThere are 2 types of pulmonary toxicity: acute inflammatory disorder, which can develop early or late – reversible if withdrawn early and may respond to corticosteroids; and chronic fibrotic form associated with prolonged exposure which is less reversible. If dyspnoea or non-productive cough perform chest x-ray as soon as possible. >WEBRecent reports have shown that PMX-DHP improves oxygenation in patients with acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and drug-induced severe interstitial pneumonia. Here, we present a case study of a patient with severe APT treated with PMX-DHP with complete recovery.WEBThe Amiodarone pulmonary toxicity must be considered for all patients treated with Amiodarone presenting new or worsening pulmonary symptoms such as a non-productive cough, shortness of breath, malaise, fever, pleuritic chest pain, …WEBNov 30, 2021 · The types, pathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of amiodarone pulmonary toxicity will be reviewed here.

(See "Amiodarone: Adverse effects, potential toxicities, and approach to monitoring" .)WEBChronic pulmonary toxicity with amiodarone is well established; however, acute pneumonitis can rarely complicate patient being treated with amiodarone. A high index of suspicion can facilitate early diagnosis and management and prevent fatal outcomes.WEBIn case of pulmonary toxicity, amiodarone should be discontinued. Symptomatic patients may benefit from steroid therapy. REFERENCE #1: Amiodarone induced adult respiratory distress syndrome after nonthoracotomy subcutaneous defibrillator implantation.WEBWe present a case of rapidly progressive acute pulmonary toxicity manifesting as ARDS that improved with steroid treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old with COPD, biventricular heart failure with EF of 10%, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation presents to the hospital with dyspnea and severe hypoxia at rest.WEBJun 8, 2012 · A known complication of Amiodarone therapy is Amiodarone induced Pulmonary Toxicity (APT). Several features of this adverse effect make it difficult to diagnosis and treat. The case of a 63-year-old male with classic radiographic and histologic findings of APT is discussed.WEBDISCUSSION: Amiodarone is a widely used iodinated antiarrhythmic agent with significant side effects due to its deposition in various organs including lungs (4-17%). Organ toxicity may occur from direct cytotoxicity or T-cell mediated hypersensitivity reaction.
