Biventricular Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
In recent years, our understanding of the physiologic mechanisms of transient takotsubo cardiomyopathy has improved because of the growing use of emergent heart catheterization in patients who present with severe ischemic syndromes. However, even this procedure has revealed only that, in most patients with takotsubo syndrome, the sudden onset of ventricular dysfunction is not due to fixed coron...
متن کاملBiventricular Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Associated with Epilepsy
We describe a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in an elderly woman after status epilepticus. In an emergency echocardiography, not only left ventricular apical ballooning but also right ventricular apical hypokinesia was observed. After a medical management, the patient's condition was improved and a follow-up echocardiography showed substantial recovery of left and right ventricular apical bal...
متن کاملBiventricular takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a heart transplant recipient.
A 64-year-old man who had undergone cardiac transplan-tation for ischemic cardiomyopathy 9 years earlier was admitted to the hospital for malaise and fever of unknown origin. His posttransplantation course had been complicated by transplant vasculopathy requiring percutaneous coronary intervention 2 years earlier. His immunosuppressant regimen included cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and l...
متن کاملStress Cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy)
BACKGROUND Due to the rise in the number of reports of stress cardiomyopathy in the literature, awareness of this condition is increasing. Although different names have been used to describe this condition, the similarities in clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, and angiographic features suggest that they represent the same spectrum of diseases with different underlying causes. T...
متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Since the first report in 1990, takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) has been increasingly recognized as a novel form of nonischemic acute cardiomyopathy. It is an important differential in diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) due to its similar presentation. However, it distinguishes itself from an ACS in the fact that regional wall motion abnormalities extend beyond a single coronary vascular...
