    <abstract language="eng">Propafenone is a Class 1 C anti-arrhythmic drug, frequently used in the treatment of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. We herein are presenting a case of 67-year-old female who presented with wide complex tachycardia consistent with Propafenone toxicity and who responded immediately to sodium bicarbonate injections. This case shines the light on a common effect of Propafenone toxicity and aims to increase the clinician awareness about such a documented reaction, that can be reversed by a simple treatment like sodium bicarbonate.</abstract>
