Accidental Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Leading to Devastating Cardiovascular Consequences

Abstract

We report a case of a young male patient presenting with accidental carbon monoxide poisoning leading to pulmonary embolism, acute myocardial infarction, right and left ventricular thromboses, acute limb ischemia, and acute renal failure. We review clinical aspects of carbon monoxide poisoning with a specific focus on cardiovascular and systemic thrombotic complications.
