  • Title: [Acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock following stress echocardiography: case report].
    Author: Kénizou D, Jacquemin L, Monassier JP, ElBelghiti R, Roth O, Lévy J.
    Journal: Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris); 2007 Nov; 56(5):208-10. PubMed ID: 17931591.
    Abstract:
    Acute myocardial infarction is a rare complication of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). We report the case of a 60-year-old man with moderate apical sequela of a myocardial infarction (MI) which had an inferior MI complicated with cardiogenic shock and circulatory arrest two hours after a positive DSE in that very circulatory topography. Emergency coronarography objectivizes a dissection of the circumflex artery. The patient required a circulatory assistance device. He survived the episode and left the hospital with 50% left ventricular ejection fraction.
