Severe Myopericarditis in Diabetic Ketoacidosis—All Troponin are Not Myocardial Infarction

چکیده
Uncontrolled diabetes and acute coronary syndrome share a complex dynamic that results in significant ambiguity when interpreting biomarker elevations in this setting. This is concerning because myocardial infarction has been shown to be the most common cause of death in the first 24 hours of admission for uncontrolled diabetes. Literature shows that elevation in cardiac biomarkers in patients with uncontrolled diabetes could be from viral myopericarditis, although a clear clinical significance is still lacking.1 It is, however, clear that elevation in cardiac biomarkers portends a poor long-term prognosis in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. We present a rare case of myopericarditis in a middle-aged patient with uncontrolled diabetes. The patient had elevated troponin I level reaching a peak of 7.3 ng/mL with associated ST elevations on electrocardiography. Coronary angiogram was subsequently done revealing clean coronaries. To our knowledge, this is the first description of myopericarditis in uncontrolled diabetes without a known cause.

Myocardial infarction after dog bite.
To the Editor: We do not agree with the diagnosis of myocardial infarction in the case of a 36-year-old man 2 days after a dog bite1. For several reasons, we believe that the patient had myopericarditis rather than myocardial infarction. First, the patient had symptoms, signs, and laboratory findings consistent with sepsis, and blood cultures yielded Capnocytophaga canimorsus. Myocardial infarc...
متن کاملSevere hypothermia with Osborn waves in diabetic ketoacidosis.
Diabetic ketoacidosis causes substantial morbidity and mortality.1 Though the management of acute diabetic ketoacidosis centers on correcting hyperglycemia and electrolyte abnormalities, other important metabolic derangements may be seen. Specifically, hypothermia may be both a cause and consequence of diabetic ketoacidosis, and the severity of the hypothermia correlates with the severity of th...

Background: The postmortem diagnosis of early myocardial infarction is a perplexing affair in forensic pathology. The routine evaluations of autopsied hearts including macroscopic examination and study of H;E stained sections are often not contributory. Some other methods like electron microscopy need sophisticated equipments which are not available in all pathology laboratories. Methods: In a...

متن کاملPseudoinfarction pattern in a patient with hyperkalemia, diabetic ketoacidosis and normal coronary vessels: a case report
INTRODUCTION A rare electrocardiographic finding of hyperkalemia is ST segment elevation or the so called 'pseudoinfarction' pattern. It has been suggested that hyperkalemia causes the 'pseudoinfarction' pattern not only through its direct myocardial effects, but also through other mechanisms, such as anoxia, acidosis, and coronary artery spasm. CASE PRESENTATION A 33-year-old Caucasian woman...
