Bradycardia and hypotension following use of intravenous contrast media. 1976

R J Stanley, and R C Pfister

Eight patients had unusual reactions, including hypotension and bradycardia, to intravenous contrast media. These reactions appear to be vagal- or acetylcholine-mediated. Atropine treatment produced prompt reversal in several of the cases, and is felt to be the drug of choice for this particular type of idiosyncratic reaction.
