Stress cardiomyopathy is a reversible syndrome that is usually triggered by emotional and physical stressors. We describe a patient who was admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and found to have metabolic-induced cardiomyopathy. The echocardiogram primarily revealed hypokinesis in the mid-segments, and left heart catheterization showed angiographically normal-appearing coronary vessels. The patient did not have significant emotional or physical stressors but did have a significant metabolic derangement. We suspect that the underlying mechanism of DKA-induced cardiomyopathy may differ from that of stress cardiomyopathy. Therefore, further observation and investigation are warranted.
应激性心肌病是一种通常由情绪和身体应激源引发的可逆综合征。我们描述了一名因糖尿病酮症酸中毒(DKA)入院的患者,发现其患有代谢性心肌病。超声心动图主要显示中段运动减弱,左心导管检查显示冠状动脉血管造影外观正常。该患者没有明显的情绪或身体应激源,但确实存在明显的代谢紊乱。我们怀疑DKA诱发的心肌病的潜在机制可能与应激性心肌病不同。因此,有必要进行进一步的观察和研究。
