Hyperventilation and myocardial infarction.

چکیده
Chest pain that is associated with hyperventilation is often considered to be benign and noncardiac in nature. While not commonly recognized, hyperventilation can provoke coronary vasospasm. We report a man who presented with hyperventilation and developed myocardial infarction. In the setting of hyperventilation, chest pain and ST segment elevation, coronary vasospasm must be considered.

متن کاملCentral Neurogenic Hyperventilation Related to Post-Hypoxic Thalamic Lesion in a Child
Central neurogenic hyperventilation (CNH) is a rare clinical condition, whose mechanism is still unclear. Here, we report a 3-year-old male patient, who had bilateral thalamic, putaminal and globus pallideal infarction resulted in CNH without brainstem involvement. This case may illustrate a possible role for the thalamus in regulating ventilation.
