Transient apical ballooning in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
A 79-year-old white woman with known hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) presented with sudden-onset chest pain and no identifiable stressor. Examination suggested a new apical 3/6 systolic murmur and pulmonary edema. A 12-lead electrocardiogram showed anterolateral wall ischemia. The patient’s peak troponin T level was 2.5 ng/mL. Echocardiography revealed a basal hypertrophied septu...
متن کاملApical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mimicking acute coronary syndrome.
We present a case who was initially thought to have an acute coronary syndrome but who was later diagnosed to have an apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Interestingly, the diagnosis could be established with left heart catheterization, not echocardiography.
متن کاملApical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
We describe a patient with asymptomatic apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) who later developed cardiac arrhythmias, and briefly discuss the diagnostic modalities, differential diagnosis and treatment option for this condition. AHCM is a rare form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which classically involves the apex of the left ventricle. AHCM can be an incidental finding, or patients may pr...
متن کاملApical ballooning syndrome or takotsubo cardiomyopathy: a systematic review.
AIMS To clarify the major features of the apical ballooning syndrome, we performed a systematic review of the existing literature. METHODS AND RESULTS Review of all relevant case series using the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases resulted in the identification of 14 studies. These studies suggest that the apical ballooning syndrome accounts for approximately 2.0% of ST-segment elevation infarcts, ...
متن کاملStress Cardiomyopathy: A Case of Apical Ballooning Syndrome followed by Mid-ventricular Ballooning Syndrome as Recurrence
Stress cardiomyopathy has an association with emotional or physical stressors and is found to be more common in postmenopausal women. It has a similar presentation as acute myocardial infarction. Involvement of apex at the initial presentation and recurrence at the mid ventricular segment is rare. We describe a case of a 46 year old female with apical involvement at the initial presentation but...
