Cardiac thrombus and conduction disorder in takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a reversible form of left ventricular dysfunction with an apparently benign natural history after left ventricular recovery. Rarely there are complications such as arrhythmias and apical thrombus. We describe a case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy complicated with apical thrombus and persistent complete atrioventricular block after improvement of left ventricular wall motion.

Variable conduction system disorders in takotsubo cardiomyopathy: a case series.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an acute cardiac condition characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the left ventricular apex and mid-ventricle. Documented EKG presentations for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy include ST-segment elevation or T-wave inversion. These EKG presentations are included in the diagnostic requirements for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. This paper presents two cases of atypica...
متن کاملTakotsubo cardiomyopathy with severe bradyarrhythmia following epidural insertion
We present a case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) with ventricular stand still and atrioventricular block. TTC can mimic ST elevation myocardial infarction and heart failure, but in this case resulted in a severe cardiac conduction disorder and ventricular standstill. This is a recognised but unusual presentation and serves as a lesson to those undertaking anaesthetics to be vigilant for TTC.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which is also known as "transient apical ballooning", is a cardiac syndrome associated with emotional and physical stress that occurs in postmenopausal women. It may mimic acute coronary syndrome but coronary angiography reveals normal epicardial coronary arteries. The prognosis is favorable with the normalization of wall motion abnormalities within weeks. We report a ...

متن کاملCerebral Infarction Arising from Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: Case Report and Literature Review
Although most patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy have a favorable outcome, complications are not uncommon. Recent studies have reported an increase in incidence of cardioembolic complications; however, the association between takotsubo cardiomyopathy and stroke, in particular thromboembolic cerebral infarction, remains unclear. We reported a 44-year-old woman who had a cerebral infarction r...
