Takotsubo's Cardiomyopathy in a Patient with Kartagener's Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 46-year-old African-American male with past medical history significant for Kartagener's syndrome, essential hypertension, and HIV presented with acute chest pain. ECG and troponins indicated an acute myocardial infarction. Ventriculography confirmed dyskinesia of the left ventricle, with an EF of 25%. However the coronary catheterization showed nonobstructed coronaries. Ventricular contraction and EF were restored in 4 weeks. To our knowledge, this is the first incidence of Takotsubo's reported in a young patient with Kartagener's syndrome. Chronic lung disease may contribute to the development of Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy, which is a documented yet not fully understood phenomenon.

A case of intracranial hemorrhage causing stress-induced cardiomyopathy.
The classic finding of Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy is left ventricular systolic dysfunction with echocardiographic evidence of apical ballooning in the absence of significant coronary disease. Intracranial hemorrhage is a known cause for stress-induced cardiomyopathy with a similar echocardiographic presentation. This diagnostic finding suggests a similar pathophysiologic mechanism between neuro...

Kartagener's syndrome is a rare inherited disorder with a triology of symptoms (bronchiectasis, sinusitis and situs inversus) and is also associated with abnormalities of the cilia of the respiratory epithelium. Lung cancer arising in Kartagener's syndrome is very rare and to date only 5 cases have been reported in the English and Japanese literature. We report on a case of a 65-year-old Japane...
متن کاملAn unusual presentation of Kartagener's syndrome.
Kartagener's syndrome is a rare disorder which is seen in nearly half of the cases of primary ciliary dyskinesia. We report an unusual case of Kartagener's syndrome where the patient had associated ventricular septal defect, pectus excavatum and was fertile.
متن کاملMultiple Lung Abscesses in a Patient with Kartagener's Syndrome
Kartagener's syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, which is mostly inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. There are 4 genes with a proven pathogenetic role in Kartagener's syndrome. It results from ciliary dysfunction and is commonly characterized by sinusitis, male infertility, hydrocephalus, and situs inversus. Since Kartagener's syndrome causes deficiency or even stasis of the transport o...
