thiamine deficiency as a rare cause of reversible severe pulmonary hypertension
International Journal of Cardiology, 2007Co-Authors: Jae Hyeong Park, Jinok Jeong, In Whan Seong, Si Wan ChoiAbstract:Abstracts In developed countries, the incidence of cardiac Beriberi is rare. It can lead to high output cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension. We hereby report an atypical case of Beriberi heart with reversible right heart failure and severe pulmonary hypertension. Thiamine deficiency can cause reversible pulmonary hypertension, and it must be included in the differential diagnosis in patients with high risk of nutritional deficiency.

Case Report Shoshin Beriberi Induced by Long-Term Administration of
2016Co-Authors: Naoki Misumida, Hisashi Umeda, Mitsunori IwaseAbstract:Copyright © 2014 Naoki Misumida et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Previous studies have suggested that diuretic therapy for heart failure may lead to thiamine deficiency due to the increased urinary thiamine excretion. Herein, we present the case of a 61-year-old man with shoshin Beriberi, a fulminant form of wet Beriberi, induced by long-term diuretic therapy.The patient had a history of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and was receiving furosemide and trichlormethiazide therapy. He presented with worsening exertional dyspnea and was admitted for heart failure exacerbation. His condition failed to improve even after intensive treatment. A hemodynamic evaluation with the Swan-Ganz catheter revealed high-output heart failure with low peripheral vascular resistance. Thiamine was administered for suspected shoshin Beriberi; his hemodynamic status improved dramatically within the next six hours. The serum thiamine level was below the normal range; the patient was therefore diagnosed with shoshin Beriberi. The common causes of thiamine deficiency were not identified. Long-term diuretic therapy with furosemide and thiazide was thought to have played a major role in the development of thiamine deficiency.This case illustrates the importance of considering wet Beriberi as a possible cause of heart failure exacerbation in patients taking diuretics, even when the common thiamine deficiency causes are not identified with history-taking. 1
