Popis: Objectives: Sustained myocardial injury is a significant predictor of mortality in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. There are few reports in the literature regarding the presence of CO-induced cardiomyopathy from early stages in the emergency department (ED). We prospectively investigated the early incidence of CO-induced cardiomyopathy and its patterns in patients with cardiomyopathy. Materials and methods: During a 10-month period, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed in 43 consecutive patients with CO poisoning and myocardial injury, which was defined as elevated high-sensitive troponin I within 24 h after ED arrival. Measurements of left ventricular ejection fraction and wall motion abnormalities were performed to evaluate cardiac function. If a patient had CO-induced cardiomyopathy, we measured cardiac function at the time of patient admission, day 1, day 2, and once within seven days of hospitalization. Results: The incidence of cardiomyopathy was as high as 74.4% (32 of 43 pati...
