Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Nutritional Science
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • High-output heart failure is a critical condition often linked to systemic issues.
  • Alcoholism and malnutrition are significant risk factors for nutritional deficiencies.

Observation:

  • A 49-year-old male presented with acute heart failure, severe alcoholism, and malnutrition.
  • Clinical presentation suggested high-output heart failure.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of beriberi, a disease resulting from thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, was established.
  • Intravenous thiamine administration was initiated as treatment.

Implications:

  • Thiamine deficiency can manifest as reversible high-output heart failure.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of beriberi are crucial for rapid cardiac recovery.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering nutritional deficiencies in heart failure patients.
