Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy and paraganglioneuroma in a pediatric patient.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy is characterized by left ventricle apex and mid ventricle wall-motion abnormalities in the absence of coronary artery stenosis. Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy is very rare in children. Pheochromocytoma is one of the most important causes of this contractile pattern. Herein we report the case of catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy in a child with paraganglioneuroma.

متن کاملCase Report : Pheochromocytoma - related catecholamine cardiomyopathy with successful outcomes after orthotopic heart transplantation
Pheochromocytomas (rare catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumors) have many different manifestations, and complications can occasionally include myocardial infarction and cardiomyopathy. In a majority of cases, cardiomyopathy reverses following medical or surgical treatment of the pheochromocytoma. We report a case of a 28-year-old male patient with preoperative diagnosis of pheochromocyto...
متن کاملA vicious cycle of acute catecholamine cardiomyopathy and circulatory collapse secondary to pheochromocytoma
Acute catecholamine cardiomyopathy is an uncommon, life-threatening manifestation of pheochromocytoma. The massive release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla and their toxic effects on the coronary vessels and the cardiac myocytes play a significant role in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy in patients with pheochromocytoma. Severe manifestations, such as acute catecholamine cardiomyop...
متن کاملManagement of an acute catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy and circulatory collapse: a multidisciplinary approach
A phaeochromocytoma (PC) is a rare, catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumour arising from the adrenal medulla. Presenting symptoms of this rare tumour are highly variable but life-threatening multiorgan dysfunction can occur secondary to catecholamine-induced hypertension or hypotension and subsequent cardiovascular collapse. High levels of circulating catecholamines can induce an acute st...
