title: [Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome: a case report with cardiac involvement].
abstract: Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is characterized by recurrent hypovolemic shock associated with edema, hemoconcentration and paradoxal hypoprotidemia due to leakage into the interstitial space. We report a new case with cardiac involvement. A 62-year-old man had two recurrent hypovolemic shocks with SCLS's criteria, associated twice with cardiac systolic dysfunction and atrial fibrillation. This report should enhance physician awareness of SCLS, which is a rare and severe disease, and its cardiac involvement.
