Myocardial injury or infarction in the setting of anaphylaxis can be due to anaphylaxis itself, known as Kounis syndrome, or as a result of treatment with epinephrine. Myocardial ischemia caused by therapeutic doses of epinephrine in the setting of anaphylaxis is a rare event attributed to coronary artery vasospasm. A 41-year-old female with past medical history of recurrent costochondritis, chronic thrombocytopenia, and nonspecific palindromic rheumatism presented to the emergency department with perioral numbness, flushing and throat tightness after a meal containing fish and almonds. Intramuscular epinephrine was ordered but inadvertently administered intravenously, after which she developed sharp, substernal chest pain and palpitations. Electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm with QT interval prolongation. Troponin peaked at 1.41 ng/mL. She was given 324 mg of aspirin in the emergency department. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed normal ejection fraction with lateral wall motion abnormality. We present a case of a patient with no significant risk factors for coronary artery disease who developed myocardial injury following inadvertent IV administration of a therapeutic dose of epinephrine for an anaphylactic-like reaction. The development of myocardial injury after epinephrine is rare, with only six reported cases in literature and just one after intravenous administration. This is the first described case of known myocardial injury without ST-T wave changes on electrocardiogram . The proposed mechanism is an alpha-1 receptor-mediated coronary vascular spasm resulting in myocardial ischemia. The aim of this case is to raise awareness of the potential for acute myocardial injury after inadvertent intravenous administration of epinephrine for anaphylaxis, even in patients with no known risk factors for coronary artery disease, as well as to demonstrate that this clinical scenario can present regardless of troponin elevation and without ST-T wave ECG changes.

Conventional Risk Factors

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an increasingly important medical and public healthproblem, and is the leading cause of mortality in Bangladesh. Besides conventional risk factors and ethnicity, a number of emerging risk factors may explain the undue prevalence of CAD in this population. Periodontal disease (PD) is one of them, with prevalence of approximately 50%. As with many other diseases, PD is associated with CAD, and the association is independent of conventional risk factors. Low socioeconomic condition, illiteracy and ignorance, metabolic syndrome, nutritional deficiencies including hypovitaminosis D presumably contribute to the prevalence of PD in Bangladesh. In fact, PD and CAD share some cardiometabolic risk factors including diabetes mellitus, obesity and metabolic syndrome. Future research will hopefully explore different aspects of both public health problems, namely, PD and CAD in the country. The information gathered thereby, will help formulate policy to promote good oral health and tackle the deadly epidemic of CAD more efficiently.

Background: Coronary tortuosity is a common angiographic finding. Scarce data is available on clinical profile of patients with coronary tortuosity (CT) and its relation with coronary artery disease (CAD). Method: A total 224 patients undergoing angiography for suspected CAD were included in the study. CT was defined by the presence of ≥3 consecutive bends of > 45 degree measured at end-diastole in an epicardial artery ≥2 mm in diameter. CT was present in 45(20.08%) patients in the study and another 45 patients without CT was randomly selected as control (NCT group). Clinical profile of CT and NCT group was compared. Results: Incidence of CT was significantly higher in females (p=0.000) and hypertensives (p=0.001) patients. CT was most commonly seen in Left circumflex coronary artery. Incidence of CAD was significantly lower in CT group as compare to NCT group (0.02). Risk factors for CAD was associated with reduced incidence of CT. Majority (88.46%) patient with CT without CAD presented with chronic stable angina out of which (65.21%) had an objective evidence of myocardial ischemia. Conclusion: CT is more commonly seen females and hypertensive patients. It has negative correlation with CAD. Risk factors of CAD do not predict CT. CT itself can lead to myocardial ischemia.
