Stress myocardial injury after arthroscopic surgery

Abstract

Any surgery can cause the body’s stress response, which is initiated by tissue damage, with the participation of neuroendocrine factors leading to the development of tachycardia, hypertension, increased myocardial oxygen demand, stimulating the activation of free radical oxidation processes, metabolic disorders, and myocardial energy supply. Currently there are reasons to believe that the stress reaction can both aggravate injuries caused by surgical intervention and complicate the postoperative process, reducing the overall efficiency of therapeutic measures. A clinical case of stress myocardial injury with the development of left ventricular heart failure and pulmonary edema in young men in the early postoperative period after arthroscopic resection of the medial meniscus of the right knee joint is presented. The advantage of echocardiography in the diagnosis of left ventricular systolic dysfunction, accompanied by an increase in the cavity, a significant deterioration in the global and regional myocardial contractility, as well as the development of acute valvular insufficiency is described.
