Abstract
- This report takes into consideration the complications due to "body packers" cocaine absorption. In particular we report a clinical case in which severe dysrhythmias occurred. We think an early insertion of a pacemaker able to rid ectopic focus by overdriving is essential by comparison with an effective anti-dysrhythmic therapy. We also examine the cocaine metabolites values in the patient's serum and urine.
