Abstract

High-output heart failure may occur in anemia, thyrotoxicosis, Beriberi heart disease, arteriovenous fistula, congenital arteriovenous malformation, Paget's disease of the bone, fibrous dysplasia, polycythemia vera, multiple myeloma, and renal diseases such as glomerulonephritis, carcinoid syndrome, pregnancy and obesity. Among these conditions, reports on heart failure resulting from an arteriovenous malformation are rare. We report a case of high-output heart failure resulting from Cobb's syndrome (cutaneomeningospinal angiomatosis), which improved with spinal artery embolization.
