Transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction mimicking myocardial infarction after pericardiocentesis
A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of weight loss and progressively worsening dyspnoea. Her previous medical history was unremarkable. She was admitted to the internal medicine department. A cardiologist was consulted because of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response and an enlarged cardiac silhouette on her chest Xray. On physical examination her blood pressu...
متن کاملTransient left ventricular dysfunction following pericardiocentesis. An unusual complication to bear in mind.
episodes of ventricular tachycardia induced by silent coronary vasospasm. The case of an 80 year old male is presented. Type 2 diabetic, recently diagnosed with latent multiple myeloma and a history of severe right coronary lesion, revascularised through angioplasty and stent implant 2 years before. The echocardiography performed 2 years previously presented normal global and segmental contract...
متن کاملTransient executive dysfunction following STNDBS in Parkinson's disease.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an alternative treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) inadequately or insufficiently controlled with pharmacological treatments. It consists of implanting an electrode in a specific subcortical region to modulate its electrical activity. The structure most often targeted in PD is the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Chronic high frequency stimula...
متن کاملIntrinsic biventricular dysfunction in Marfan syndrome.
BACKGROUND Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal, dominantly inherited, connective tissue disorder usually caused by a mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1). As fibrillin-1 is a component of the extracellular matrix of the myocardium, mutations in FBN1 may cause impairment of ventricular function. Furthermore, aortic elasticity is decreased in patients with MFS, which might also impair ventri...
متن کاملA case report of ventricular dysfunction post pericardiocentesis: stress cardiomyopathy or pericardial decompression syndrome?
We report a case of transient biventricular dysfunction post therapeutic pericardiocentesis, with classic features of stress cardiomyopathy (SCM). In our patient, the clinical and echocardiographic features were more in keeping with Takotsubo-type SCM than pericardial decompression syndrome (PDS). Our case is instructive in challenging our understanding of the aetiology of LV dysfunction compli...
