Manageability of acute severe heart failure complicated with left ventricular thrombosis during therapy for breast cancer.
Trastuzumab-related cardiac dysfunction may be manageable and completely reversible with suitable cardiac medication, allowing optimal breast cancer treatment to continue. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman who developed severe systolic left ventricular failure with impaired contractility of the right ventricle, pulmonary hypertension, and clots in the left ventricular cavity during adj...

متن کاملWhen the heart kills the liver: acute liver failure in congestive heart failure
Congestive heart failure as a cause of acute liver failure is rarely documented with only a few cases. Although the pathophysiology is poorly understood, there is rising evidence, that low cardiac output with consecutive reduction in hepatic blood flow is a main causing factor, rather than hypotension. In the setting of acute liver failure due to congestive heart failure, clinical signs of the ...
متن کاملSevere Chronic Heart Failure
Many of the newer antiarrhythmic agents are said to cause minimal myocardial depression, but their hemodynamic effects have not been invasively evaluated and compared in patients with severe chronic heart failure. In a randomized, crossover study, the hemodynamic responses to single oral doses of procainamide (750 mg), tocainide (600 mg), and encainide (50 mg) given to 21 patients with severe c...
