Therefore, life-threatening MI can complicate the clinical course during some types of scorpion envenomation and should be managed as an acute coronary syndrome

📌 3 Key Takeaways

Abstract

- The occurrence of a serious cardiac emergency following scorpion envenomation has rarely been reported and, when so, mostly presented as non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, or myocarditis. Possible mechanisms include imbalance in blood pressure and coronary vasospasm caused by the combination of sympathetic excitation, scorpion venom-induced release of catecholamines, and the direct effect of the toxin on the myocardium. We report a case of a 55-year-old man who presented with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI) within 2 h of being stung by a scorpion. Coronary angiogram revealed total thrombotic occlusion of the left circumflex artery, which was treated successfully with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, thrombus aspiration, antivenom serum, and supportive therapy. Therefore, life-threatening MI can complicate the clinical course during some types of scorpion envenomation and should be managed as an acute coronary syndrome

Özet

- Akrep sokması sonrasında ortaya çıkan ciddi kardi- yak komplikasyonlar nadir olarak bildirilmekle birlikte, ken- disini genellikle ST segment yükselmesiz miyokart enfark- tüsü, kardiyojenik şok ya da miyokardit şeklinde gösterir. Muhtemel mekanizmalar arasında, akrep zehiri tarafından aktive edilen sempatik deşarj ve katekolamin salınımına bağlı gelişen kan basıncı ile koroner vazospazm dengesi- nin kaybolması ya da toksinin miyokart üzerine direkt et- kisi yer alır. Bu yazıda, akrep sokmasından iki saat sonra akut alt duvar miyokart enfarktüsü gelişen 55 yaşında erkek hasta sunuldu. Yapılan koroner anjiyografide saptanan sol sirkumfleks arterdeki total trombotik tıkanıklık; glikoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitörü, trombüs aspirasyonu, antitoksin serum ve destek terapisi ile başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edildi. Sonuç olarak, akrep sokması neticesinde ortaya çıkan hayatı teh- dit edebilecek miyokart enfarktüsü klinik seyri daha da kötü- leştirebilir ve bu sürecin yönetimi akut koroner sendromlar- dakine benzer şekilde yapılmalıdır
