Amiodarone toxicity refers to the harmful effects caused by the accumulation of amiodarone, an antiarrhythmic drug, in various tissues due to its long half-life and lipophilic nature. It matters clinically because toxicity can lead to serious, potentially life-threatening complications that require prompt recognition and management. A key example is pulmonary fibrosis, a severe lung condition that can result from chronic amiodarone use.
