Pheochromocytomas and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) are both rare diseases. In this patient, the long duration of the catecholamine-secreted pheochromocytoma caused myocardial ischemia, pressure overload, and hypertrophy, resulting in the onset of heart failure (HF). The LVNC might be associated with the acute attack of HF induced by the pheochromocytoma. This is the first case reporting LVNC in combination with HF secondary to pheochromocytoma.
嗜铬细胞瘤和左心室心肌致密化不全(LVNC)均为罕见疾病。在该患者中,分泌儿茶酚胺的嗜铬细胞瘤长期存在导致心肌缺血、压力负荷过重和心肌肥厚,进而引发心力衰竭(HF)。LVNC可能与嗜铬细胞瘤诱发的HF急性发作有关。这是首例报告LVNC合并嗜铬细胞瘤继发HF的病例。
