Abstract :

Galantamine is commonly used to manage symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders. While it is generally well-tolerated, cardiovascular side effects are rare but can be serious. We report the case of a patient who developed a third-degree heart block after initiating galantamine therapy. This case highlights the importance of monitoring patients for cardiac adverse effects when using galantamine and the need for prompt intervention when such effects occur.
