Kounis syndrome: A primary cause for the anaphylactic shock.
In the important paper of Kuda et al. [1] published in ”Cardiology Journal” it was found that vasospasm-induced coronary flow reduction is a major contributory factor in anaphylactic ventricular dysfunction. The authors concluded that during anaphylaxis the ensuing left ventricular dysfunction is attributed mainly to coronary vasoconstriction-induced myocardial ischemia. These and other experim...

In general, drugs, hymenopteric poisons and nutrients (according to the recent concept) are responsible. Beside the classical IgE-mediated anaphylactic shock there exists another anaphylactic shock, identical in its clinical picture and tre...
متن کاملCardiogenic shock secondary to metamizole-induced type II Kounis syndrome.
No further incidents have been documented during patient follow-up. In the cases presented, the mechanism underlying the induction of ventricular fibrillation could have been due to the continuous transmission—through the ventricular electrode to the interface with the myocardium—of the electrocautery radiofrequency pulses applied to the surrounding tissue or the pacemaker generator itself, alt...
متن کاملPrimary hyperfibrinogenolysis in a patient with anaphylactic shock.
Although systemic hyperfibrino(geno)lysis during hypotensive crisis is known, there do not seem to be recent reports of episodes of primary acute fibrinogenolysis during anaphylactic shock. We report the case of a 61-year-old male admitted to the hospital for anaphylactic shock due to an insect bite who presented a clinical and laboratory picture of severe acute generalized hyperfibrinogenolysi...
