Hyperpyrexia complicating low fixed cardiac output. 1977

T J Salm, and J P Howe, and J E Dalen

A 41-year-old woman with end-stage mitral and aortic stenosis developed the cycle of low cardiac output, peripheral vasoconstriction, increased core temperature, and cardiac decompensation. This was interrupted by core cooling utilizing iced gastric lavage. We propose that her severe hyperthermia was caused or abetted by her low cardiac output.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008946 Mitral Valve Stenosis Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.

D002302 Cardiac Output The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat). Cardiac Outputs,Output, Cardiac,Outputs, Cardiac

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
