[Acute hepatic ischemia and cardiogenic shock in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy].
A sharp and unusually high increase in the serum of glutamic-oxalacetic and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and of lactic-dehydrogenase accompanied the terminal events, acute pulmonary edema with cardiogenic shock, in 2 patients suffering from chronic congestive heart failure caused by dilatative myocardiopathy. Experimental and clinical data raises the possibility that the considerable enzymic increase may be due to the combined effect of chronic stasis and acute ischemia on the liver.
