Cushing's syndrome is a rare cause of myocardial infarction and heart failure. Herein, we report a female patient who presented acute myocardial infarction and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The patient was found to have hypercortisolism secondary to adrenocortical adenoma and responded well to therapy. This case underlines the effects of hypercortisolism on the cardiovascular system. The clinical presentation of this patient is unique because non-atherosclerotic myocardial infarction is rarely reported in Cushing's syndrome patients.
库欣综合征是心肌梗死和心力衰竭的罕见病因。本文报告了一例以急性心肌梗死和射血分数降低性心力衰竭为表现的女性患者。该患者被发现存在由肾上腺皮质腺瘤引起的皮质醇增多症,经治疗后病情得到缓解。该病例强调了皮质醇增多症对心血管系统的影响。该患者的临床表现较为独特,因为库欣综合征患者很少发生非动脉粥样硬化性心肌梗死。
