Association of a congenital long QT syndrome type 1 with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The occurrence of takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient with congenital long QT syndrome has rarely been described. This case report discusses the occurrence of a clinically overt takotsubo cardiomyopathy accompanied by congenital long QT syndrome type 1 in a female patient.

Lack of association between coding region of KCNE2 gene and the congenital long QT syndrome in an Iranian population
Introduction: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac disorder characterized by QT interval prolongation at basal ECG. Different LQTS genes encode ion channel subunits or proteins involved in regulating cardiac ionic currents. Long QT syndrome type 6 (LQT6) is caused by mutation in the KCNE2 gene. Our research aimed to analyze genetic variants of KCNE2 gene causing the disease in Irania...
متن کاملTorsades de Pointes in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy with QT Prolongation
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is characterized by reversible left ventricular apical ballooning associated with emotional or physiologic stress, mimicking acute myocardial infarction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease at angiography. Although the prognosis for patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is relatively good, it is reported to be associa...
متن کاملLong QT Syndrome and Torsade de Pointes Associated with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Prolongation of QTc interval associated with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) has previously been reported in published case series. We report an unusual case of a patient who presented with TC associated with long-QT syndrome and developed cardiac arrest secondary to torsade de pointes. Since QT prolongation and bradycardia persisted after the resolution of TC, the patient received permanent pace...
متن کاملMultifactorial QT Interval Prolongation and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
A 71-year-old woman collapsed while working as a grocery store cashier. CPR was performed and an AED revealed torsades de pointes (TdP). She was subsequently defibrillated resulting in restoration of sinus rhythm with a QTc interval of 544 msec. Further evaluation revealed a diagnosis of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TCM) contributing to the development of a multifactorial acquired long QT syndrome...
متن کاملA case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy showing two modes of initiation for ventricular fibrillation: Augmented J-wave and torsade de pointes with QT prolongation
Introduction The prognosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) has generally been considered favorable, but fatal cardiac events, including ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF), are occasionally observed. Development of VT/VF in patients with TTC appeared as an association with QT prolongation. In long QT syndrome, a short-long-short sequence often precedes the onset of t...
