We report a case of a 56-year-old woman with loss of conscious transferred to the cardiology unit where non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction was diagnosed. The patient reported a wasp sting a few minutes before the accident. The cardiac troponin level was high and confirmed damage of the heart muscle. Finally, echocardiography and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy revealed an ejection fraction of 50% with hypokinesia of posterior walls. Cardiac consequences of the insect venom sting are discussed in this article.
我们报告一例56岁意识丧失的女性患者,被转至心脏病科,诊断为非ST段抬高型心肌梗死。患者称事故发生前几分钟被黄蜂蜇伤。心肌肌钙蛋白水平升高,证实存在心肌损伤。最后,超声心动图和心肌灌注显像显示射血分数为50%,后壁运动减弱。本文讨论了昆虫毒液蜇伤的心脏后果。
