| Summary points: | A 69-year-old male and a 72-year-old male present with dyspnoea following bepridil dose increase or switch to bepridil to maintain sinus rhythm. Findings from haematology, chest x-ray, and computed tomography are described in both cases, as are treatment and outcomes; images provided. The authors discuss the development of bepridil-induced interstitial pneumonia and stress the need to consider this rare, but important, adverse reaction. |
