Terlipressin Induced Severe Symptomatic Reversible Septal Coronary Artery Spasm in Hepato-Renal Syndrome
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract:Terlipressin is a long acting vasopressin analogue used in cirrhosis patients for management of hepatorenal syndrome and variceal bleeding. Terlipressin is not without side effects and sometimes, life threatening complications do occur. Here we present a cirrhotic patient who, after receiving Terlipressin developed reversible cardiac ischemia, documented real time on electrocardiography. Keywords:Terlipressin, vasopressin, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, ischemic heart disease, electrocardiogram, hepatorenal syndrome.
