Abstract
Ulceration of the oesophagus was suspected clinically and confirmed radiologically in a patient with an enlarged left atrium while on treatment with slow release potassium chloride. Its discontinuation resulted in resolution of symptoms. This potentially serious complication of treatment should be considered in patients with enlargement of the left atrium who develop dysphagia. It is avoided by using soluble forms of potassium chloride replacement.Entities:
