“…First, stress cardiomyopathy may be the major cause, based on patients’ echocardiographic data. Stress cardiomyopathy has been reported after non-cardiac surgery (including cosmetic surgery) [ 18 ] and may be the cause or result of OHCA [ 19 , 20 ]. Most of our patients exhibited moderate-to-severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (mean left ventricular ejection fraction, 34%±15.53%).…”

Background: Cardiac arrest during or after office-based cosmetic surgery is rare, and little is known about its prognosis. We assessed the clinical outcomes of patients who developed cardiac arrest during or after cosmetic surgery at office-based clinics. Methods: Between May 2009 and May 2016, 32 patients who developed cardiac arrest during or after treatment at cosmetic surgery clinics were consecutively enrolled. We compared clinical outcomes, including complications, between survivors (n=19) and non-survivors (n=13) and attempted to determine the prognostic factors of mortality. Results: All 32 of the patients were female, with a mean age of 30.40±11.87 years. Of the 32 patients, 13 (41%) died. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) was applied in a greater percentage of non-survivors than survivors (92.3% vs. 47.4%, respectively; p=0.009). The mean duration of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was longer for the non-survivors than the survivors (31.55±33 minutes vs. 7.59±9.07 minutes, respectively; p=0.01). The mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score was also higher among non-survivors than survivors (23.85±6.68 vs. 16.79±7.44, respectively; p=0.01). No predictor of death was identified in the patients for whom ECLS was applied. Of the 19 survivors, 10 (52.6%) had hypoxic brain damage, and 1 (5.3%) had permanent lower leg ischemia. Logistic regression analyses revealed that the estimated glomerular filtration rate was a predictor of mortality. Conclusion: Patients who developed cardiac arrest during or after cosmetic surgery at office-based clinics experienced poor prognoses, even though ECLS was applied in most cases. The survivors suffered serious complications. Careful monitoring of subjects and active CPR (when necessary) in cosmetic surgery clinics may be essential.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a recently recognized clinical syndrome characterized by transient ventricular dysfunction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. TTC primarily affects postmenopausal women; TTC in children and adolescents is only rarely reported. Furthermore, simultaneous occurrence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and primary electrical diseases has been previously reported in only four recent cases of female patients with congenital long QT syndrome. Here, we report the novel association of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardias and a midventricular type of TTC observed in a young female patient.
