Hormone replacement therapy normalizes asynergy in a case of panhypopituitarism-induced stress cardiomyopathy.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights a rare presentation of stress-induced cardiomyopathy triggered by an internal carotid artery aneurysm with panhypopituitarism, which resolved with hormone replacement therapy.
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) is characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the apical and mid segments of the left ventricle without obstructive coronary artery disease. The precipitate causes are reported either an emotional or physically stressful event, which induces hyper-catecholamine secretion. It is extremely rare that SICM was induced by internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysmal dilation. In this case report, we present an 86-year-old female patient with SICM induced by ICA aneurysm with panhypopituitarism, who on hormone replacement therapy had normalized asynergy.

Nakamura et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) (n=1). Hormone replacement therapy was evaluated on Normalized asynergy. Hormone replacement therapy normalized asynergy in an 86-year-old female with stress-induced cardiomyopathy induced by an internal carotid artery aneurysm and panhypopituitarism.
