Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Middle Aged Man - A Case Report
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease of the myocardium with autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. It is characterized by inappropriate hypertrophy involving either the interventricular septum, apex or left ventricular free wall in isolation or combined. The disease is often asymptomatic and may present for the first time with sudden death especially in young people. R...
متن کاملBiventricular 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 کاملMethamphetamine-Induced Cardiomyopathy (MACM) in a Middle-Aged Man; a Case Report
The development of methamphetamine-associated cardiomyopathy (MACM) represents a severe complication of chronic methamphetamine abuse. MACM-induced irreversible structural and functional changes in the heart can eventually lead to decompensated heart failure, ultimately requiring heart transplantation. In this case report we present a 47-year old male with a previous history of chronic amphetam...
متن کاملA Case of Recurrent Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Introduction Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), stress cardiomyopathy, broken heart syndrome, or transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome has an uncertain prevalence. It typically occurs in post-menopausal women and may account for up to 2.5% of all patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) symptoms (2, 5-7). Although a small fraction of patients have no identifiable trigger, TCM is...
