Statin Induced Muscle Toxicity - Summary

Clinical Presentation:
 • Elevations of serum creatine kinase with proximal myalgia
proximal myalgia and weakness ... symmetric muscle weakness ... Guillain-Barré syndrome ... antisynthetase syndrome ... (SAMS-CI) • EMG
Brugada syndrome with non-sustained VT; sodium channel blocking drugs (e.g. amio, procainamide) can be dangerous here!
