Pheochromocytoma Presenting as Acute Heart Failure Leading to Cardiogenic Shock and Multiorgan Failure
Pheochromocytoma is an endocrine tumor classically presenting with headache, paroxysmal hypertension, and palpitations. We discuss the case of a young male, presenting with acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock requiring stabilization with an intra-aortic balloon pump and a combination of ionotropes and vasopressors. Pheochromocytoma was diagnosed by CT scan, as well as urine and plasma met...
متن کاملRenal Dysfunction in Acute Heart Failure
During treatment of acute heart failure (AHF), worsening renal function is often complicated and results in a complex clinical course. Furthermore, renal dysfunction is a strong independent predictor of long-term adverse outcomes in patients with AHF. Traditionally, the predominant cause of renal dysfunction has been attributed to impairment of cardiac output and relative underfilling of arteri...
متن کاملSmall-size Microparticles as Indicators of Acute Decompensated State in Ischemic Heart Failure.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Microparticles are markers for cell activation and apoptosis and could provide valuable information that is not available from clinical data. This study assesses the clinical and biological relationship of small-sized microparticles in different forms of ischemic systolic heart failure and their relation to markers of inflammation and repair. METHODS We compared 49...
متن کاملAcute heart failure as "acute endothelitis"--Interaction of fluid overload and endothelial dysfunction.
Acute heart failure (AHF) is defined as a change in heart failure (HF) symptoms (i.e. dyspnoea, abdominal bloating, and fatigue) and signs (i.e. pulmonary crackles, jugular vein distension, and peripheral oedema) resulting in a need for urgent therapy. Symptoms and signs of HF are due to elevated left and right ventricular filling pressures with or without low cardiac output [1]. Heart failure ...
متن کاملRenal dysfunction in African patients with acute heart failure.
AIMS In Western countries with typically elderly ischaemic acute heart failure patients, predictors and clinical outcome of renal dysfunction and worsening renal function are well described. However, the prevalence, predictors and clinical outcome of renal dysfunction in younger, mainly hypertensive acute heart failure patients from Africa, have not been described. METHODS AND RESULTS From 10...
