It usually leads to well-known neurological deficits, but the cardiac manifestation seems not uncommon. In previously reported cases, carbon monoxide poisoning-related myocardial ischemic change often revealed ST-depression or T-wave inversion on electrocardiography. We report a case of a 29-year-old female, who intentionally got carbon monoxide poisoning, developing acute heart failure with ST elevation in V2-V3 on electrocardiography and elevated cardiac enzymes. After treatment, the cardiac dysfunction and electrocardiogram completely recovered. This case demonstrates that a carbon monoxide poisoning-related myocardial injury may mimic an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and the myocardial dysfunction may be reversible if the patient survives. |
