Dimethoate Poisoning Induced Toxic Cardiomyopathy – Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Organophosphates are commonly used as insecticides and are most common suicidal agents in developing countries. Poisoning is common in young adults, farmers and accounts for 35% to 40% of all suicidal deaths in India. Acute self poisoning with Dimethoate has human case fatality three fold higher than poisoning with chlorpyrifos and other pesticides. Clinical presentation of dimethoate is distinct from other OPC compounds with the presentation of severe hypotension and shock which is irreversible and leads to toxic cardiomyopathy with a low ejection fraction.
