Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. An important differential diagnosis to acute myocardial infarction.
INTRODUCTION Sparse information with regard to the electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is available. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and electrocardiographic changes in a Danish cohort of patients with TC. We discuss the potential pathophysiological mechanisms of TC. METHODS Cases were registered during a three year period...
متن کاملA signature of circulating microRNAs differentiates takotsubo cardiomyopathy from acute myocardial infarction
AIMS Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) remains a potentially life-threatening disease, which is clinically indistinguishable from acute myocardial infarction (MI). Today, no established biomarkers are available for the early diagnosis of TTC and differentiation from MI. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) emerge as promising sensitive and specific biomarkers for cardiovascular disease. Thus, we sought to iden...
متن کاملA rare case of concomitant stress (takotsubo) cardiomyopathy and acute myocardial infarction.
Stress cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction are generally regarded as mutually exclusive diagnoses. We report the case of a 54-year-old woman who presented with acute chest pain. Her echocardiogram and ventriculography were typical of stress cardiomyopathy, but she had one subocclusive coronary lesion, a highly significant rise in troponin and a subendocardial myocardial infarction scar doc...
متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy: A Cardiac Syndrome Mimicking Acute Myocardial Infarction in a Liver Transplant Recipient
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a rare clinical syndrome defined as a profound but reversible left ventricular dysfunction in the absence of coronary artery disease. We describe the clinical features and management of TC manifesting in the postoperative period in a patient undergoing liver transplantation. Two days after surgery, the patient developed clinical features of acute myocardial inf...
متن کاملQT-Dispersion as a potential marker in prognosis of acute myocardial infarction
Introduction: QT dispersion in a 12 lead ECG represents the heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization. The prolongation of QT-interval dispersion increases the risk of coronary heart disease, ventricular arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death in patients with myocardial infarction. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of QT-dispersion in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Meth...
