Episode 904: Cardiovascular Risks of Epinephrine
Manage episode 419210829 series 1397179
Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD
Educational Pearls:
Epinephrine is essential in the treatment of anaphylaxis, but is epinephrine dangerous from a cardiovascular perspective?
A 2024 study in the Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open sought to answer this question.
Methods:
Retrospective observational study at a Tennessee quaternary care academic ED that analyzed ED visits from 2017 to 2021 involving anaphylaxis treated with IM epinephrine.
The primary outcome was cardiotoxicity
Results:
Out of 338 patients, 16 (4.7%) experienced cardiotoxicity. Events included ischemic EKG changes (2.4%), elevated troponin (1.8%), atrial arrhythmias (1.5%), ventricular arrhythmia (0.3%), and depressed ejection fraction (0.3%).
Affected patients were older, had more comorbidities, and often received multiple epinephrine doses.
Bottom line:
All adults presenting with anaphylaxis should be rapidly treated with epinephrine but monitored closely for cardiotoxicity, especially in patients with a history of hypertension and those who receive multiple doses.
These results are supported by a 2017 study that found that 9% (4/44) of older patients who received epinephrine for anaphylaxis had cardiovascular complications.
