[Syndrome X and surgical stress. A clinical case].

Abstract:

:The syndrome X is a clinical disease characterised by anginous pain with the absence of significant and angiographically visible stenosis of the coronary tree. D. P. M., a 61-year-old woman suffering from biliary lithiasis, underwent cholecystectomy. During the immediate postoperative period, the patient showed difficulty in regaining consciousness and there were electrocardiographic signs of extensive anterior ischemia; prior to the operation only a 1st degree atrio-ventricular block and a positive history of occasional precordial pain had been reported. On the 2nd postoperative day the patient complained of violent retrosternal pain irradiated to the left shoulder. Given that the signs of ischemia had regressed, various instrumental tests were performed: echocardiogram, cycloergometric test, dipyridamole test, cold pressure test, Holter's dynamic ECG, all of which were within the normal; moreover, selective coronarography did not reveal significant stenosis of the coronary tree. The patient was therefore diagnosed as suffering from syndrome X. In the light of the present case, the authors conclusion may be summarised as follows: the diagnosis of syndrome X, which is by definition not easy, may sometimes become critical, as in the present case, since rapid intervention would have enabled prophylactic therapy to be performed to combat surgical stress.
