An elderly US man appears to have entered the medical record books after developing complete heart block from ingesting tetryzoline hydrochloride (Visine) eye drops.

While tetryzoline ingestion is known to cause hypotension and bradycardia, his is believed to be the first reported case of tetryzoline-induced complete heart block, say the doctors from Wayne State University in Michigan, Detroit.
