3/5/2011 Caller is a physician treating a patient that developed heart block, heart failure, and went into cardiac arrest. The patient was put on a balloon pump, resuscitated, and had a pacemaker placed. The patient had no history of coronary artery disease prior to this episode. The patient had this product in his home and may have sprayed it in the home or yard according to another family member but this is not known for sure. The physician is not aware of any report of known exposure to the product. The exposure history appears to be based on speculation.
