May warrant AMI vigilance with IVIG in elderly CV patients; extends case reports but leaves open causality.
Case Report (n=1)
Case reports suggest a probable causal relationship between IVIG administration and acute myocardial infarction, highlighting the need for caution in older patients with cardiovascular risk factors.
Stenton et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Toxic epidermal necrolysis (n=1). Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) was evaluated on Acute myocardial infarction. Intravenous immune globulin administration was associated with acute myocardial infarction in an 81-year-old man, with a probable Naranjo causality score and 20 similar published cases.
