Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 73-year-old man with progressive quadriparesis was diagnosed as Guillain-Barre syndrome. On the 6th hospital day, the patient complained of sudden chest discomfort. The blood test and echocardiography suggested myocardial injury, and acute myocardial infarction was considered. However, coronary angiography displayed no vascular lesion, and the electrocardiography and echocardiogram showed marked improvement 14 days later. We concluded the patient had a reversible cardiomyopathy which is a rare complication of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
