Reversible myocardial dysfunction following carbon monoxide poisoning

J D McMeekin et al. Can J Cardiol. 1987 Apr.

Abstract

A 22-year-old male had accidental carbon monoxide poisoning from a malfunctioning gas refrigerator, and aspiration pneumonia. Initial severe biventricular global dysfunction and hemodynamic instability was demonstrated and was at least partially due to carbon monoxide toxicity. The myocardial dysfunction normalized and the patient recovered.
