IMPLICATIONS: Epirubicin, an anticancer drug, causes cardiotoxicity. We reported a case of sino-atrial block during general anesthesia in a woman with breast cancer who had received epirubicin. Anesthesiologists should be aware of the possible occurrence of sino-atrial block with epirubicin, and planting a pacemaker might be considered even in asymptomatic patients.
