| Popis: | Five patients with electrocardiographic abnormalities simulating early myocardial infarction after scorpion sting are reported. Pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure accompanied these electrocardiographic changes in 3 patients. Serial recordings revealed an evolution to normalcy. The etiology of the cardiovascular manifestations in severe scorpion sting is related to the venom effects on the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal secretion of catecholamines as well as to the toxic effects of the venom on the myocardium. |
