Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in Traumatic Brain Injury
BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a well-known complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and has been rarely described in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS Case report and review of literature. RESULTS Here, we report a 73-year-old woman with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) presenting in cardiogenic shock.

Electrocardiogram indicated the changes characteristic of either acute coronary syndrome or myocarditis.
متن کاملThe"broken heart syndrome": understanding Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
"Broken heart syndrome," or takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is a spontaneously reversible form of cardio-myopathy that is often induced by emotional or physical stress. Signs and symptoms include chest pain, dyspnea, electrocardiographic changes, and elevated levels of cardiac biomarkers. Patients often have signs and symptoms of fluid overload and can have acute pulmonary edema. Most patients are po...
متن کاملTakotsubo cardiomyopathy, or broken-heart syndrome.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy mimics acute coronary syndrome and is accompanied by reversible left ventricular apical ballooning in the absence of angiographically significant coronary artery stenosis. In Japanese, "takotsubo" means "fishing pot for trapping octopus," and the left ventricle of a patient diagnosed with this condition resembles that shape. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which is transient ...
متن کاملDobutamine stress echocardiography-induced broken heart syndrome (Takotsubo Syndrome).
We report a case of dobutamine stress echocardiography-induced Takotsubo syndrome in a 76-year-old hypertensive patient with clinical complaints of chest pain in an elective visit to the cardiologist. Dobutamine-stress-echocardiography was requested to rule out chest pain of coronary origin. During the test, at peak exercise, echocardiogram showed apical akinesia and electrocardiogram showed ST...
