Reversible Stress Induced Cardiomyopathy in Adrenal Insufficiency
Journal Title: Clinical Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
It’s evident in the literature that Addisonian crisis is tightly linked with cardiovascular manifestations, with very few cases reporting an associated between adrenal insufficiency and reversible cardiomyopathy. We report a case of a 57 years old lady who presented with an acute onset of adrenal insufficiency then developed severe heart failure that resolved post hydrocortisone administration. The clinical presentation, course of management and outcome will be discussed.
