Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the rare but severe complication of stress-related cardiomyopathy triggered by contrast-induced anaphylaxis following PCI.
Highlights a rare, severe complication requiring prompt recognition during percutaneous coronary intervention; leaves open the.
Anaphylaxis is a sudden-onset, severe hypersensitivity reaction that can be potentially fatal. It can often transition to refractory hemodynamic instability, eventually resulting in death. Stress-related cardiomyopathies (SRCs) have multifactorial etiologies, including being linked to excessive catecholamine release in periods of intense stress. This novel case report recounts a SRC caused by contrast-induced anaphylaxis within 1 hour post percutaneous coronary intervention. Both acutely life-threatening conditions may occur simultaneously and are implicated with devastating complications. Further research is required to understand this cardiac-neuroaxis interplay in SRC to identify risk factors and develop management strategies.

Seecheran et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Stress-related cardiomyopathy post percutaneous coronary intervention (n=1). Contrast media was evaluated on Stress-related cardiomyopathy. Contrast media-induced anaphylaxis caused a stress-related cardiomyopathy within 1 hour post percutaneous coronary intervention in this case report.
