Characteristics of Severe Acute Pancreatitis-Associated Cardiac Injury

Characteristics Supplements Check Type References
Cardiomyocytes: a rough type, hypoxia, edema, hypertrophy and apoptosis Over contracted myofibrils caused by supercharging with calcium
Deficiencies in the sarcolemma structure.
Affection of the microcirculation vessels structure
Histopathological changes [11,30,38,45,47,67,82,88,116]
Myocardium stroma: edema and collagenization Deficiencies in the sarcoma structure
compensatory response of connective tissue to lesions
[11,39,46,47,82]
Electrocardiogram Arrhythmia: prolonged QTc interval Laboratory and imaging changes [5,135,155]
Biochemical examination CK-MB, LDH, cTnI [114,161]
Echocardiography Myocardial contractile dysfunction: decreased ejection fraction, poor contraction response to volume load, decreased peak systolic pressure/end-systolic volume ratio, enlarged heart and pericardial effusion [4,30]
Other complications Increased blood flow and permeability of pulmonary capillaries, increased adhesion and infiltration of leukocytes and thickening of alveolar septum Histopathological changes [14,52,106,119,122,165]
Decreased renal blood flow and acute renal failure [6,122,164]
