Kounis syndrome, also known as allergic acute coronary syndrome, is defined as the occurrence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the setting of an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction. Although Kounis syndrome is not an uncommon disease, many cases go undiagnosed or unrecognized. Patients with systemic allergic reactions associated with evidence of ACS should be suspected of Kounis syndrome because the outcome could be devastating if not treated promptly. The physician must be aware of Kounis syndrome because the treatment modality differs from traditional ACS.
库尼斯综合征,也称为过敏性急性冠状动脉综合征,定义为在过敏或超敏反应背景下发生的急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)。尽管库尼斯综合征并非罕见疾病,但许多病例未被诊断或识别。伴有ACS证据的全身性过敏反应患者应怀疑患有库尼斯综合征,因为若不及时治疗,后果可能是灾难性的。医生必须了解库尼斯综合征,因为其治疗方式与传统ACS不同。
