Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (transient left ventricular apical ballooning) is a reversible form of cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology. Tako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is typically precipitated by sudden emotional or physical stress, and is associated with excessive sympathetic stimulation and catecholamine release. Its clinical presentation is similar to that of acute coronary syndrome. The diagn...
متن کاملTako-tsubo cardiomyopathy following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction following emotional or surgical stress. Unlike the well-known complications of catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF), Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy has been rarely reported so far. We report a case of acute reversible left heart failure following successful CA of paroxysmal AF in a patient with a hist...
متن کاملTako-tsubo cardiomyopathy complicated by QRS prolongation.
A 68-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to sudden onset of dyspnea. On admission, electrocardiogram (ECG) showed T-wave inversion and QRS prolongation (120 msec) that were not found in her previous ECG. Chest X-ray showed pulmonary edema and cardiac enlargement. Left ventriculogram showed akinesis of the left ventricle except in the basal region. No significant coronary stenosis wa...
متن کاملRight Ventricle Involvement in Tako-Tsubo Cardiomyopathy.
We appreciate the kind comments of Dr. SanchezGomar and colleagues about our meta-analysis of left atrial (LA) size in athletes (1) as well as their novel use of cardiac magnetic resonance to assess LA volume more accurately in older former elite endurance athletes. Their results suggest that LA size adjusted for body surface area is almost 50% (58 14 ml/m vs. 39 14 ml/m) greater in their athle...
متن کاملTako-Tsubo Cardiomyopathy Triggered by Misdirection
Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a novel reversible cardiomyopathy mimicking acute myocardial infarction without epicardial coronary artery disease. The exact physiopathology of TTC remains unclear. It is usually precipitated by acute physical or emotional stress and it most commonly affects...
