Answer:
- The three main complications of long-term amiodarone use are pulmonary toxicity, thyroid disease and liver toxicity.
- Pulmonary toxicity progresses slowly in the setting of amiodarone use, may be subtle initially and is the most common cause of death related to amiodarone therapy.
- Chronic toxicity (eg, chronic interstitial pneumonitis, organising pneumonia) is more common and presents gradually with symptoms including non-productive cough, dyspnoea, fever, pleuritic chest pain, fatigue and/or weight loss. Mortality has been reported as up to 10% in some studies1.
