Pericarditis in diabetic ketoacidosis.

I W Campbell, L J Duncan, B F CLarke

    British Heart Journal
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diabetic ketoacidosis can cause transient pericarditis, a benign inflammation of the heart lining. This electrocardiogram abnormality resolved within five days without specific treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Endocrinology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus.
    • Pericarditis, inflammation of the pericardium, can have various causes.

    Observation:

    • A 25-year-old male with insulin-dependent diabetes presented with severe DKA and dehydration.
    • Sequential electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities suggestive of acute pericarditis were observed.
    • The patient experienced chest pain, but no pericardial friction rub was detected.

    Findings:

    • No common causes of pericarditis were identified.
    • ECG abnormalities were attributed to subepicardial injury from dehydration secondary to DKA.
    • These transient ECG changes resolved spontaneously within five days.

    Implications:

    • Transient pericarditis can occur in the context of DKA and dehydration.
    • Recognizing these benign, transient ECG changes is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • This highlights a potential, albeit rare, cardiac manifestation of severe DKA.
