Lithium is a common mood-stabilizing drug for manic patients. We describe a case of sinoatrial node dysfunction in a patient with serum lithium levels within the therapeutic range. Given the symptomology and severity of the patient's illness, after placing a permanent pacemaker, the patient was discharged on the preadmission dose of lithium.
Keywords: bipolar disorder; lithium; lithium toxicity; lithium-induced bradycardia; pacemaker; sinoatrial node dysfunction.
