Pheochromocytoma crisis
KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE Adrenergic crisis induced by a pheochromocytoma leads to life-threatening catecholamine-induced hemodynamic disturbances. Successful treatment of a pheochromocytoma crisis demands prompt diagnosis, vigorous pharmacological therapy and emergent tumor removal, if the patient continues to deteriorate.
متن کاملPheochromocytoma Multisystem Crisis Behaving Like Interstitial Pneumonia: An Autopsy Case
Pheochromocytoma multisystem crisis is a rare and life-threatening disease that is associated with numerous symptoms and which is also difficult to diagnose. We herein report an autopsy case of a 61-year-old man who died due to pheochromocytoma multisystem crisis. The patient complained of vomiting and breathlessness. Computed tomography showed a shadow-like region with a similar appearance to ...
متن کاملTako-tsubo-like cardiomyopathy induced by pheochromocytoma crisis.
shown in LAD (Video 1). Troponin I levels increased significantly and the transthoracic echocardiography showed wall motion abnormalities in anterior, apical and septal segments of left ventricle. Myocardial bridges consist of muscle fiber bundles lining an epicardial coronary artery for a variable distance. They are found in 10% of all coronary angiography procedures. The vessel wall underneat...
متن کاملMechanism of myocardial "stunning".
Among the numerous mechanisms proposed for myocardial stunning, three appear to be more plausible: 1) generation of oxygen radicals, 2) calcium overload, and 3) excitation-contraction uncoupling. First, the evidence for a pathogenetic role of oxygen-derived free radicals in myocardial stunning is overwhelming. In the setting of a single 15-minute coronary occlusion, mitigation of stunning by an...
متن کاملTransient left ventricular apical ballooning without coronary artery stenosis: a form of stunning-like phenomenon?
We read with great interest the study published by Tsuchihashi et al. (1) in the July issue of the Journal. The study presented detailed findings with regard to the unusual phenomenon that mimic acute coronary syndrome. Left ventricular (LV) contraction abnormalities without coronary stenosis have been previously reported in physically or emotionally stressed patients (2–4). Epicardial coronary...
