| Abstract [eng] |
Neurogenic stress cardiomyopathy (NSC) is defined as transient cardiac dysfunction occurring after primary brain injury, such as aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, and characterised by left ventricular systolic dysfunction with reduced ejection fraction and abnormalities of regional wall motion. It may also be suspected if elevated levels of cardiac biomarkers and ECG abnormalities are present. It is a reversible condition with favourable long-term prognosis if diagnosed and treated timely, however, NSC is associated with higher rates of early mortality and complications, including pulmonary oedema, cardiogenic shock, delayed cerebral ischaemia. Early diagnosis of the NSC is important in order to prevent these complications and reduce mortality. Management of the NSC is complicated and a multidisciplinary approach is usually required.. |
