Article information

Se presenta el caso de un paciente, hipertenso conocido, con repercusión visceral, que presentaba astenia y malestar general y cuya familia refería desorientación y agresividad de reciente aparición, aunque la queja subjetiva inicial era de debilidad muscular y polidipsia, entre otros síntomas. Ante los hallazgos electrocardiográficos se interpretó inicialmente como un cuadro de toxicidad digitálica, probablemente desencadenada por hipopotasemia que resultó ser secundaria a un hiperaldosteronismo primario no conocido previamente.

The case is presented of a known hypertensive patient with visceral damage, who displayed asthenia and general discomfort, and whose family told of recently developing disorientation and aggressiveness, though the patient´s initial complaint was of muscular weakness and polydipsia among other symptoms. Initial interpretation of the electrocardiograph results offered a picture of digitalic toxicity, probably triggered by a hypopotassemia that turned out to be secondary to a previously unknown primary hyperaldosteronism.
