Cushing's, Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Stroke: Case Report and Literature Review
Keyword(s):
Dilated cardiomyopathy(DC) is a rare complication of Cushing ’s syndrome. Hypertension and coronary artery disease tend to persist even after treatment of source of hypercortisolism as evidenced by previous studies. Based on a few case reports, Dilated Cardiomyopathy appears to be completely reversible with treatment of Cushing’s. We suggest that, in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, Cushing’s syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis. In patients with clinical features of Cushing’s, appropriate screening tests for Cushing’s should be carried out, which are inexpensive, non-invasive and readily available.
