Abstract EN
Aluminium phosphide (ALP) is widely used as a fumigant pesticide.
In case of ALP poisoning, it is responsible for myocardial dysfunction, related to toxic myocarditis, and hemodynamic disorders.
We report a case of a 28-year-old female who had intentionally ingested ALP and was admitted with cardiogenic shock.
The transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) at the time of admission showed severe global myocardial hypokinesia with the presence of a giant left ventricular thrombus.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) revealed extensive toxic myocarditis with a left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
All cardiac lesions were reversible after symptomatic treatment, within 6 months.
We aim, by reporting this case, to evidence the complete reversibility of cardiac injury due to aluminium phosphide poisoning documented by transthoracic echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
