Results of Relevant Cardiovascular Diagnostic Investigations
No. | Study | ECG | Echocardiogram | Coronary angiogram | Cardiac enzymes | Diagnosis (KS type), as reported by the authors |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Mori et al26 (1997) | Significant STEs in leads II, III, aVF, V5, and V6, with 2:1 AV block | Normal | Normal coronary trees; ergonovine provocation test showed severe spasm at middle portion of RCA and LCA accompanied by chest pain and ischemic ST changes promptly resolved by 2.5 mg intracoronary isosorbide dinitrate | NR | Vasospastic angina associated with anaphylactic reaction |
2 | Blanco et al17 (2003) | Elevation of the ST segment of leads V1–V4 indicative of anterior acute MI | Anterior hypokinesia with global EF of 49% | Normal, with no atherosclerotic organic lesions | Elevated total CK and troponin T | Anterior acute MI associated with anaphylactic reaction |
3 | Gluvic et al22 (2007) | Up to 5-mm STE in inferior and entire precordial leads | No motility disorders of heart muscle (EF, 53%; trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation) | Not performed (refused by patient) | Elevated CK, normal troponin I | ACS associated with type I hypersensitivity reaction |
4 | de Groot et al20 (2009) | STEs in leads II, III, and aVF; acute inferolateral MI diagnosed | NR | No significant coronary stenosis | Elevated troponin T, whereas CK, and CK-MB remained normal | STEMI associated with anaphylaxis |
5 | Cakar et al19 (2011) | First time: 1-mm STE in inferior derivations, reciprocal ST-segment depression up to 4 mm in entire precordial leads and third-degree AV block Second time: same as previously |
NR | First time: 2 sequential 70% RCA lesions and noncritical lesion in LAD | Normal | ACS associated with anaphylaxis (first time: II; second time: I and II) |
6 | Granitz et al34 (2011) | Transient STEs over inferior posterior wall | NR | Stenosing CAD could be ruled out angiographically, but ubiquitous plaques found | Elevated troponin, without CK deflection | ACS associated with anaphylactic reaction (II) |
7 | Cagliyan et al18 (2013) | Emergent ECG compatible with acute anterior MI; fourth-hour control ECG showed resolution of STE | NR | LAD occluded just distal to the first diagonal branch | Marked elevation | Anterior acute MI triggered by allergic reaction (II) |
8 | Rodrigues et al2 (2013) | STE in the inferior leads | No motility disorders of heart wall muscle or other abnormalities | No lesions on coronary vessels or contractility abnormalities | Elevated troponin I and CK-MB | ACS associated with anaphylaxis (I) |
9 | Tiwari et al32 (2013) | STE in leads II, III, and aVF; STEMI of inferior wall diagnosed | NR | Normal coronary vessels | Elevated troponin T, normal CK, and CK-MB | STEMI associated with anaphylaxis (I) |
