Abstract

ABSTRACT

Acute heart failure occurs exceptionally in patients without structural heart disease. Two clinical cases with heart failure after surgical intervention were presented, in which doses of propofol and fentanyl were administered, drugs related to cardiovascular depressant effect; a sudden hemodynamic deterioration is observed, with a decrease in the ejection fraction, which in the monitoring would return to normal parameters. When discarding organic pathology of heart, the use of these drugs is related to the development of heart failure, so it is proposed to take it into account in the differential diagnosis of this condition.

Keywords: case reports, heart failure, fentanyl, propofol, drug combinations.
