The American Heart Association has recommended transcutaneous pacing as a gold standard of treatment and also atropine, epinephrine or dopamine as the first line drugs. We report here on a case of symptomatic bradycardia that was treated with norepinephrine and the patient was not treated with pacing, atropine and dopamine. |
