Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 42 year-old female, admitted to the ICU, with Addisonian crisis developed acute cardiopulmonary failure after hydrocortisone therapy was initiated. An echocardiogram showed severe reduction in the left-ventricular ejection fraction. Additionally, profound ECG abnormalities with diffuse ST-elevation and decreased QRS-amplitudes occurred, whereas Troponin-I was only moderately increased. Chest X-ray displayed bilateral pulmonary edema. The patient's condition culminated in respiratory failure and cardiogenic shock requiring catecholamines and ventilatory support. After a week, she had recovered uneventfully.
