Abstract
Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is a disorder in which inadequate glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid hormone production leads to a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, weight loss, and nausea. In some patients with unknown AI, adrenal crisis-induced cardiogenic shock (ACCS) can be the first presentation, resulting in a fatal situation. The ACCS may exhibit unresponsiveness to inotropes and fluid therapy; thus, glucocorticoid administration is the primary vital intervention, making early detection of AI essential. Hence, in this study, we review the case reports demonstrating acute cardiomyopathies in the context of AI. The review addresses the suggested underlying mechanisms, including the diminished protective effects of glucocorticoids against catecholamines in AI. We also highlighted some clues to aid physicians in considering AI as a differential diagnosis in critically ill patients presenting cardiogenic shock.
肾上腺功能不全(AI)是一种糖皮质激素和矿物质皮质激素分泌不足导致各种症状(包括疲劳、体重减轻和恶心)的疾病。在一些不明AI患者中,肾上腺危象诱发的心源性休克(ACCS)可能是首发症状,从而导致死亡。ACCS 可能对肌注和输液治疗无反应;因此,糖皮质激素的应用是主要的重要干预措施,这使得早期发现肾上腺危象至关重要。因此,在本研究中,我们回顾了在 AI 背景下显示急性心肌病的病例报告。该综述探讨了所建议的潜在机制,包括糖皮质激素对人工流产中儿茶酚胺的保护作用减弱。我们还强调了一些线索,以帮助医生在出现心源性休克的重症患者中将人工心肌病作为一种鉴别诊断。
期刊介绍:
Heart Failure Reviews is an international journal which develops links between basic scientists and clinical investigators, creating a unique, interdisciplinary dialogue focused on heart failure, its pathogenesis and treatment. The journal accordingly publishes papers in both basic and clinical research fields. Topics covered include clinical and surgical approaches to therapy, basic pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, pathology, and electrophysiology.
The reviews are comprehensive, expanding the reader''s knowledge base and awareness of current research and new findings in this rapidly growing field of cardiovascular medicine. All reviews are thoroughly peer-reviewed before publication.
