Donepezil-Associated Bradycardia in An Elderly Patient with Dementia: A Case Report

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are commonly prescribed for the management of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias [1]. While generally well tolerated, these agents may cause serious cardiovascular adverse effects, particularly in frail older adults [2]. We report a case of symptomatic bradycardia and hypotension in an 85-year-old patient with dementia associated with donepezil use, which resolved after discontinuation of the medication [3].
