The authors present a case of a 44-year-old female with unrecognised hypothyroidism consulting for heart failure symptoms. Echocardiogram revealed massive pericardial effusion with tamponade physiology, attributed to primary hypothyroidism from a previous thyroidectomy. Levothyroxine was started at a dose of 0.7 ug/kg/day followed by subxiphoid pericardiostomy. 9 h postpericardiostomy however, hypotension developed and despite hydration and inotropic support, patient succumbed to cardiogenic shock on the 14th hospital day.
作者报告了一例44岁女性病例,该患者因心力衰竭症状就诊,此前未被诊断出甲状腺功能减退。超声心动图显示大量心包积液并伴有心脏压塞生理表现,病因是既往甲状腺切除术后导致的原发性甲状腺功能减退。开始给予左甲状腺素,剂量为0.7微克/千克/天,随后进行剑突下心包造口术。然而,心包造口术后9小时出现低血压,尽管进行了补液和使用正性肌力药物支持,但患者在住院第14天死于心源性休克。
