N2 - Encainide is an experimental type IC antiarrhythmic agent. Experience with acute encainide toxicity is limited. Two fatal overdoses have occurred but both patients died before reaching the hospital (personal communication, M. Cool, Bristol Myers Co., 3 85). We report a case of acute, massive encainide overdose associated with central nervous system and cardiovascular toxicity.
