Description
Summary:In patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations, the association between use of β-adrenergic agonists and stress cardiomyopathy is becoming increasingly recognized. Considering the emergence of this association, we sought to consolidate information from the existing body of literature to derive observational trends. One case series and 8 case reports were reviewed. Sex, age, ethnicity, comorbid conditions, presenting symptoms, electrocardiogram findings, troponin values, amount and type of β-agonist used, and time to resolution of cardiomyopathy were examined.
