Transient Inferior Left Ventricular Dyskinesia: A New Tako- Tsubo Variant?
Apical transient dyskinesia, presents features mimicking acute coronary syndrome, being their characteristics normal coronary arteries assessed by coronariography and the complete resolution of the motion alterations. We report 6 white patients who presented with inferior left ventricular wall involvement. A thorough chart review combined with a clinical and echocardiographic follow-up was perf...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion and fatty acid metabolism in patients with tako-tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction.
OBJECTIVES We sought to assess myocardial perfusion and metabolism in patients with peculiar transient asynergy, which consisted of basal normokinesia and apical akinesia of the left ventricle (LV) at the same time. BACKGROUND This asynergy has been widely called "tako-tsubo-like LV dysfunction" in Japan, but little is known about its pathophysiology. METHODS We performed rest tallium-201 (...
متن کاملValue of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in patients with Tako-Tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction.
We present gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in Tako-Tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction showing the findings in acute phase and in follow-up. Gadolinium-enhanced CMRI allows to distinguish between myocardial infarction and other myocardial alterations, e.g., myocarditis. CMRI may thus permit to non-invasively identify patients with Tako-Tsubo syndrome by ruling ...
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 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...
