Scintigraphic Evaluation of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
The Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TC) also called broken heart syndrome, or stress-induced cardiomyopathy is characterized by the transient ballooning of the apex during systole as result of apical dyskinesia in conjunction with a compensatory hyperkinesia of the base of the left ventricle; in the absence of significant epicardial coronary artery disease. We report a case of TC with the characteris...

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...

Recently, many reports have been published about apical ballooning or takotsubo cardiomyopathy. This disease is a new entity of acute reversible heart failure. Abnormal catecholamine dynamics due to stress may be the primary cause of this condition.
متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TCM), also known as transient left ventricular (LV) apical ballooning syndrome, is usually preceded by psychological or physical stress, characterized by transient LV dysfunction, and almost always seen in postmenopausal women. Currently, the precise mechanisms of TCM are unknown. However, the evidence available points to catecholamine-mediated mechanisms with likely m...
