Service d'Anesthésie-Réanimation, Centre Hospitalier des Armées Lyautey, 1, rue des Canonniers, 67000 Strasbourg, France A case of bisoprolol self-poisoning resulting in full recovery of the patient is described. The peak plasma level of bisoprolol was 541 ng ml-1. Sinus bradycardia was the only symptom observed, suggesting that cardioselectivity and absence of membrane stabilizing activity contribute to reduce the severity of β-blocker intoxication.
