Outcome and Follow-up
After approximately two weeks of treatment, the patient was discharged with well-controlled blood pressure, reduced levels of blood glucose, lipids, and uric acid compared to prior levels, as well as normalized blood creatinine concentrations (Table 1). The transthoracic echocardiography at discharge showed a left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter of 63 mm, a left ventricular end-diastolic volume of 204 ml, and an ejection percentage of 34%. There were no signs of thrombus formation in the left ventricular apical area (Figure 4B). Patients continue to receive regular follow-up. One year after discharge, the patient’s blood pressure and blood glucose were well controlled, and symptoms of chest tightness, chest pain, and shortness of breath were relieved compared to the previous period. Additionally, there was no aggravation of skin hardness.
