[Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome: a case report with cardiac involvement]. / Syndrome d'hyperperméabilité capillaire idiopathique : à propos d'un cas avec atteinte cardiaque.

ABSTRACT

Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is characterized by recurrent hypovolemic shock associated with edema, hemoconcentration and paradoxal hypoprotidemia due to leakage into the interstitial space. We report a new case with cardiac involvement. A 62-year-old man had two recurrent hypovolemic shocks with SCLS's criteria, associated twice with cardiac systolic dysfunction and atrial fibrillation. This report should enhance physician awareness of SCLS, which is a rare and severe disease, and its cardiac involvement.
