Severe Sinus Dysfunction in the Context of Chronic Lithium Intoxication and Poorly Controlled Hypothyroidism.

Cardiotoxicity associated with lithium is not a common event; however, it is potentially life-threatening, manifesting electrocardiographically with sinoatrial blocks, high-degree atrioventricular blocks, QT prolongation, and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. This case report presents a patient with severe sinus dysfunction in a clinically severe presentation secondary to cardiogenic shock. The patient sought medical attention for a one-week history of non-anginal chest pain, dizziness without syncope, generalized weakness, and somnolence progressing to bedridden status in the days preceding hospital admission. Laboratory findings revealed elevated blood levels of lithium and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), along with concomitant Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) II acute kidney injury. Subsequently, the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit, where persistent extreme sinus bradycardia of 30 bpm (beats per minute) with sinus pauses without ischemic changes was observed. The patient received supportive treatment, including renal replacement therapy, resulting in complete recovery of hemodynamic status without the need for long-term cardiac conduction devices.
