Abstract
There are no previous reports of serial echocardiographic findings in patients with pheochromocytoma. We report a 50-year-old woman with phe ochromocytoma who developed acute heart injury. Echocardiography revea led that the acute myocardial injury started early in the base and sub sequently extended to the mid-portion of the heart. The injury persist ed longer in the base than in the mid-portion. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scien ce Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
