Abstract :
Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy is characterized by left ventricle apex and mid ventricle wall-motion abnormalities in the absence of coronary artery stenosis. Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy is very rare in children. Pheochromocytoma is one of the most important causes of this contractile pattern. Herein we report the case of catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy in a child with paraganglioneuroma.
