[systemic capillary leak syndrome]

Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS ) is characterized by recurrent hypovolemic shock associated with edema , hemoconcentration and paradoxal hypoprotidemia due to leakage into the interstitial space . We report a new case with cardiac involvement . A 62 -year -old man had two recurrent hypovolemic shocks with SCLS 's criteria , associated twice with cardiac systolic dysfunction and atrial fibrillation . This report should enhance physician awareness of SCLS , which is a rare and severe disease , and its cardiac involvement .
