Atrial flutter with aberrant conduction in a patient taking amphetamine salts and caffeine

Marc Mugmon

Abstract


A26-year-old Caucasian man with a history of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treated with mixed amphetamine salts developed severe lightheadedness and palpitations while running on a treadmill. He had taken his usual dose that day, as well as a 5-hour energy drink (containing 138 mg of caffeine), which he usually did once daily.
