An observation of adrenergic myocarditis with clinical and electrical signs of coronary failure is reported. The patient had electrical and enzymatic manifestations of acute anteroseptal necrosis, complicated at the acute stage by complete atrioventricular block and fatal vasoplegic circulatory collapse. Post-mortem examination showed obstructive atherosclerosis of the anterior interventricular artery without anatomic signs of infarction. Pathogenesis of this coronary failure is discussed. In this case, functional coronary insufficiency produced by catecholamine release was associated with coronary atherosclerosis.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
