Abstract:
We describe the case of a patient who was admitted to the internal ward because of carbon monoxide poisoning. The examined level of carboxyhemoglobin measured 32%. The patient did not complain of any chest pain, but the features of myocardial hypoxia were observed in the electrocardiogram and significantly increased level of troponin T was revealed in laboratory tests. The ischaemic abnormalities ceased after normalization of carboxyhemoglobin level and the stress test was negative. Within the submitted study we report the possible interaction between carbon monoxide and cardiovascular system.

Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...
