We report a rare case of common atrium and acute decompensated heart failure most likely precipitated by acute bacterial pericarditis leading to premature death, in a 25-year-old male footballer. The silent course of the disease for decades as well as the diagnostic and management pitfalls of this case illustrates the importance of early detection by echocardiography and urgent appropriate treatment in intensive care settings to limit the poor prognosis of the condition.
我们报告了一例罕见的共同心房合并急性失代偿性心力衰竭病例,该病例发生在一名25岁的男性足球运动员身上,很可能是由急性细菌性心包炎引发,最终导致过早死亡。这种疾病数十年的隐匿病程以及该病例在诊断和治疗上的陷阱,说明了通过超声心动图进行早期检测以及在重症监护环境中进行紧急恰当治疗对于限制该病不良预后的重要性。
