Cushing's syndrome, resulting from exposure to excessive amounts of circulating glucocorticoids, is accompanied with a high mortality risk mostly due to the cardiovascular complications. Cardiac involvement is mainly associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. We report the case of a patient who presented with dilated cardiomyopathy as the predominant feature of Cushing's syndrome, which was fully reversed after proper surgical treatment.
库欣综合征是由于暴露于过量循环糖皮质激素所致,其伴有较高的死亡风险,主要归因于心血管并发症。心脏受累主要与左心室肥厚有关。我们报告了一例以扩张型心肌病为库欣综合征主要特征的患者,经适当的手术治疗后完全康复。
