Apical ballooning syndrome (Tako-Tsubo or stress cardiomyopathy): a mimic of acute myocardial infarction.
Apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) is a unique reversible cardiomyopathy that is frequently precipitated by a stressful event and has a clinical presentation that is indistinguishable from a myocardial infarction. We review the best evidence regarding the pathophysiology, clinical features, investigation, and management of ABS. The incidence of ABS is estimated to be 1% to 2% of patients presenti...
متن کامل[Transient apical dysfunction syndrome (Tako-Tsubo) simulating acute myocardial infarction].
Transient apical dysfunction syndrome (TADS) is frequently misdiagnosed as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It is characterized by electrocardiographic alterations and elevated myocardial necrosis markers, accompanied by hypokinesia, akinesia or anteroapical dyskinesia, in absence of significant coronary disorders. It generally resolves in days or weeks with individualized support measures. We...

متن کاملTako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy (Transient Left Ventricular Apical Ballooning Syndrome): A Case Report
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome, was first described in the Japanese literature in 1991 by Dote et al. More current names include broken heart syndrome, stressinduced cardiomyopathy or stress cardiomyopathy. Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy accounts for 1% of admissions for suspected acute myocardial infarct ion in Japan (2) and i t is inc...
متن کاملApical ballooning "tako-tsubo" syndrome associated with transient left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
A 72-year-old female without prior cardiovascular history presented with intermittent crushing chest pain associated with diaphoresis and weakness for 2 days prior to admission. An electrocardiogram (EKG) revealed ST segment elevation across the anterior precordial leads (Fig. 1). On initial examination, the patient was hypotensive (88/40 mmHg) and tachycardic (110 bpm) with a grade III/VI hars...
