Stress Cardiomyopathy Managed with Extracorporeal Support after Self-Injection of Epinephrine
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 28-year-old man was admitted to the ICU for self-injection of Epinephrine. This injection resulted in the rapid development of a catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy (inverted Takotsubo) with a severe cardiogenic shock. The importance of ventricular dysfunction required the implementation of a temporary arteriovenous circulatory support until the recovery of myocardial stunning. This case allows redefining the role of circulatory assistance during cardiotropic agents intoxication.

Did the patients have to demonstrate this correction to be included in the Tako...
