AI Article Synopsis
- A 16-year-old female, who had been diagnosed with bilateral sub-segmental pulmonary emboli, experienced cardiogenic shock due to weakened heart function.
- Cardiac MRI revealed signs of possible microvascular injury to her coronary arteries.
- She was ultimately diagnosed with ischaemic cardiomyopathy caused by catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, which might be linked to an underlying autoimmune connective tissue disease.
Article Abstract
We report the case of a 16-year-old female with previously diagnosed bilateral sub-segmental pulmonary emboli who presented in cardiogenic shock from depressed biventricular function with cardiac MRI demonstrating concern for microvascular coronary injury. She was ultimately diagnosed with catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome-induced ischaemic cardiomyopathy, potentially associated with an underlying autoimmune connective tissue disease.
