This drug (a broad spectrum antibiotic) can change the QT interval and that can cause arrhythmia.
Cardiac arrhythmia is usually fatal unless reversed by electric defibrillation. Cardiac arrhythmia is also sometimes referred to as ventricular fibrillation.

Cardiac arrhythmia refers to abnormal heart rhythm, as measured with an ECG. A "normal" rhythms is called a "Sinus Rhythm", as it originates in the Sinoatrial node of the heart. Any rhythm that originates elsewhere, or deviates from what is considered "normal" is an arrhythmia. There are many types of arrhythmia. On a cardiac monitor, if we see beats that are abnormal, we call the ectopy, or ectopic beats. But as far as a "term for arrhythmia"... that's the term: Arrhythmia.
warning signs of impending cardiac arrhythmia (the heart stops), the most common one is the sudden, abnormal development of increased or reduced heartbeat, Low blood pressure, or weakness.
Cardiac arrhythmia only needs to be treated if it is causing signigicant symptoms, or puts you at risk for a greater health problem. It can however be treated with medications, therapy, and overall knowledge from your doctor.
