Summary
Crizotinib is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has several targets, including c-ros oncogene 1 and the MET proto-oncogene. Considering its known cardiac toxicity, bradycardia is often investigated following treatment with crizotinib. Our patients had bradycardia, QT prolongation, ventricular rhythm, ventricular fibrillation, and pericarditis simultaneously. The cardiotoxicity of crizotinib can sometimes be simultaneous; thus, intensive observation is needed.
