Abstract
|
|
|
the diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy associated with pheochromocytoma was made in a 24 year old male on the basis of symptoms and signs. measurements of metabolites of catecholamine, echocardiography and radionuclide ventriculography were
performed
and demonstrated. The presence of a tumor on both adrenal glands without definite distant metastatsis was demonstrated by abdominal ultrasonography, CT scanning and 131I-MIBG scintigraphy.
Surgical removal was performed after proper preoperative preparation with a-adrenergic blocker. during the surgery, neither significant arrhythmia not severe change of blood pressure was observed. After surgery, cardiac function of the patient
improved
slowly and progressively.
