Cyclophosphamide cardiac injury mimicking acute myocardial infarction.
We report a patient in whom cyclophosphamide (CY) caused damage to the heart that was manifested by ST segment elevation and marked elevation of serum cardiac isoenzymes and mimicked myocardial infarction. Post-mortem examination did not reveal any local vascular event (e.g. thrombus or spasm) and suggested diffuse myocardial injury secondary to CY.
