Abstract
- Pheochromocytoma may cause anatomic and functional cardiac abnormalities. Various echocardiographic abnormalities have been observed, including systolic anterior movement, global hypokinesis as well as hypokinesis of the base and the apex of LV. There are no previous reports of serial echocardiographic finding in patients with pheochromocytoma. We experienced a 38-year-old woman with pheochromocytoma who suffered from acute myocardial injury. Echocardiography revealed that the acute myocardial injury started in the base in the early phase and subsequently extended to the mid-portion of left ventricule. The injury persisted longer in the base than the mid-portion. than 1.5 times the adjacent normal coronary artery.
