Apical Ballooning Syndrome: A Complication of Dual Chamber Pacemaker Implantation
Apical ballooning is a cardiac syndrome (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy) described as a typical form of acute transient left ventricular dysfunction. While its onset has often been associated with emotionally or physically stressful situations, it has an overall favorable prognosis. We describe here a case of transient apical ballooning following permanent pacemaker implantation.

A 78-year-old woman presented to our emergency room because of complete atrioventricular block. The patient experienced significant psychophysical stress during pacemaker implantation due to fear of operation. Acute lung edema occurred four hours after permanent pacemaker implantation. Coronary angiography showed no significant coronary artery stenosis and left ventriculography revealed typical...
متن کاملCardiac thrombus and conduction disorder in takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
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 mo...

Introduction Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a form of acute cardiomyopathy showing left ventricular apical ballooning. Whilst the exact mechanism of TCM remains unknown, it is hypothesized that an excess of circulatory catecholamine's to an exaggerated sympathetic from an intense physical or emotional distress as the cause. We report the rare case of a 76-year-old woman who developed TCM aft...
