Reversible myocardial injury associated with aluminum phosphide poisoning

Figures & data

Fig. 1. Electrocardiogram at admission of the first case showing ST-segment elevation in the leads V₁ and V₂.

Fig. 2. Electrocardiogram of the first patient four hours after admission showed an increase of ST-segment in the leads V₁ and V₂.

Fig. 3. Electrocardiogram in admission of the second patient showing ST-segment elevated in leads V₁, V₂, and V₃.

Fig. 4. Echocardiographically parasternal long axis depicted improvement of ventricle function in the second case. A) Echocardiogram obtained on the second day after admission depicts global hypokinesis with LVEF of 30% (calculated by Simpson method) and dilatation of LV. B) Echocardiogram taken eight days after admission showed improvement of ventricle function LVEF of 30%. RV: right ventricle; IVS: interventricular septum; LV: left ventricle; PW: posterior wall.
