Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (left ventricular ballooning syndrome) induced during dobutamine stress echocardiography.

A 75-year-old woman presented with left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome mimicking acute anterior myocardial infarction. She had a long history of chest tightness and was undergoing a contrast stress echocardiogram because of frequent re-admissions with chest pain, all with normal ECGs and troponins. A standard dobutamine/atropine protocol had been used. The patient developed central crus...

Dobutamine stress echo-induced apical ballooning (Takotsubo) syndrome.

AIMS We report a case of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) resulting in transient apical ballooning syndrome to highlight this rare condition as a potential complication of DSE. BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or transient apical ballooning syndrome, is a recently described form of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction induced by stress. Clinically it can mimic acute coronary syndrome...

Dobutamine stress echocardiography-induced broken heart syndrome (Takotsubo Syndrome).

We report a case of dobutamine stress echocardiography-induced Takotsubo syndrome in a 76-year-old hypertensive patient with clinical complaints of chest pain in an elective visit to the cardiologist. Dobutamine-stress-echocardiography was requested to rule out chest pain of coronary origin. During the test, at peak exercise, echocardiogram showed apical akinesia and electrocardiogram showed ST...

Reverse Takotsubo pattern stress cardiomyopathy in a male patient induced during dobutamine stress echocardiography.

Case Presentation A 53-year-old Chinese male underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography for evaluation of chest pain. He had a background history of previously treated pulmonary tuberculosis and depression. Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was normal. At peak intravenous dobutamine infusion of 40 mcg/kg/min, he developed retrosternal chest tightness and his systolic blood pr...

Dobutamine stress echocardiography for assessing the role of dynamic intraventricular obstruction in left ventricular ballooning syndrome

BACKGROUND Dynamic intraventricular obstruction has been observed in patients with left ventricular ballooning syndrome (LVBS) and has been hypothesized as a possible mechanism of the syndrome. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and significance of dynamic intraventricular obstruction in patients with LVBS. METHODS AND RESULTS Dobutamine stress echocardiography was carried out...
