His personal history included type 1 diabetes, diagnosed eight years previously, under insulin therapy but with poor metabolic control, being followed in the diabetes clinic, and an unspecified psychiatric disorder, previously followed in psychiatric consultations. He was a current smoker (70 pack-years) but denied taking any drugs other than insulin therapy, alcohol consumption, or illegal drug use.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">At first medical contact, it was noted that the patient had ketone breath and was hypotensive (non-invasive arm blood pressure measurement of 77/52 mmHg), tachycardic (heart rate [HR] 102 bpm), polypneic (respiratory rate 30 cpm), and hypothermic (axillary body temperature 35.8 °C). Capillary testing revealed unmeasurable blood glucose (HIGH test result) and increased ketonemia (3; normal <1.2). Arterial blood gas analysis demonstrated severe metabolic acidosis (pH 7.1, pCO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> 9.2 mmHg, pO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> 139 mmHg, HCO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">3</span>- 2.9 mmol/l), hyperlactacidemia (lactates 9 mmol/l), hyperkalemia (K<span class="elsevierStyleSup">+</span> 7.52 mEq/l) and hyponatremia (Na<span class="elsevierStyleSup">+</span> 126 mEq/l) considered pseudohyponatremia and when corrected for blood glucose estimated to be 500 mg/dl (HIGH capillary test result), giving a figure of 136 mEq/l. A diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was made and therapy was begun with rapid intravenous (IV) insulin in continuous perfusion and IV hydration with sodium chloride 0.9% at 100 cc/hour and external warming. The decompensating factor was failure to administer insulin in the previous two days.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The first venous blood analysis showed elevated troponin I (2.01 ng/ml; normal <0.02 ng/ml), with a peak of 3.23 ng/ml 12 hours after admission. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was 17316 pg/ml (normal <125). The patient reported no current or previous chest pain or any symptoms of HF. Physical examination showed no signs of cardiovascular disease; there were no murmurs or extra heart sounds on cardiac auscultation, no rales on pulmonary auscultation, no enlarged organs on abdominal examination and no lower limb edema. The electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia (HR 109 bpm) with ST-segment flattening in V5, V6, I and aVL. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) performed on the day of admission using a GE Vivid I portable ultrasound machine revealed a non-dilated and non-hypertrophied left ventricle with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction [EF] estimated at 26%) due to diffuse hypokinesia; no significant aortic or mitral valve disease; preserved right ventricular longitudinal systolic function; inferior vena cava 17 mm with preserved respiratory kinetics and pulmonary artery pressure estimated at 28 mmHg (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Figure 1</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">At 48 hours of hospitalization, and with his DKA resolved, the patient was transferred to the cardiology ward to investigate the etiology of his left ventricular dysfunction.

At that time troponin I was also elevated and a rapid TTE performed in the ED demonstrated severe global left ventricular systolic dysfunction, but a second TTE performed in the echocardiographic laboratory eight days after admission was normal.

There was no history of HF, cardiomyopathy or sudden death, and the patient denied recent viral or bacterial infection and had never traveled abroad. Laboratory tests were negative, including for human immunodeficiency virus and hepatotropic viruses. Thyroid function tests were normal, as they had been throughout his follow-up in the diabetes clinic, although antithyroid antibodies were not assessed. Other laboratory parameters measured during hospital stay included hemoglobin 15 g/dl at admission (nadir 13 g/dl), no blood loss being documented; no functional or absolute iron deficiency (ferritin 326 ng/ml) and no folic acid or vitamin B<span class="elsevierStyleInf">12</span> deficiency (5.9 ng/ml and 590 pg/ml, respectively); and vitamin B<span class="elsevierStyleInf">1</span>, routinely assessed in patients with HF or left ventricular dysfunction, 28 ng/ml (normal 16–48).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Seven days after admission, a new TTE showed a non-dilated left ventricle, with mild systolic dysfunction (estimated EF 46%) and slightly reduced global longitudinal strain (−16%) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0015">Figure 3</a>). Cardiac magnetic resonance was proposed but the patient refused.
