Article Synopsis
- Corticosteroids, although effective in treating inflammation and modifying immune responses, can lead to several side effects like high blood sugar, hypertension, and bradycardia (slow heart rate).
- A case study details a 43-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis who developed symptomatic bradycardia after receiving high doses of methylprednisolone, which resolved after 36 hours once the medication was stopped.
- While bradyarrhythmias like bradycardia are rare compared to tachyarrhythmias, they are important to monitor, and corticosteroid-induced bradycardia typically resolves on its own and often occurs without clear reasons.
