Takotsubo cardiomyopathy mimicking acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a 28-year-old woman
نویسندگان
چکیده
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare type of nonischemic cardiomyopathy accompanied by a transient ballooning and akinesis of the apical segment of left ventricle. Here, we report a 28-year-old woman who presented with acute chest pain after an emotional stress. Electrocardiography showed STsegment elevation in leads II, III, aVF, V3-V6. Echocardiography, coronary angiography and left ventriculography showed typical features of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

Atypical presentation of "takotsubo cardiomyopathy" without ST segment elevation: a case report
INTRODUCTION "Takotsubo cardiomyopathy" is characterized by transient LV dysfunction and mimicking acute myocardial infarction. CASE PRESENTATION We reported a case with atypical presentation of "takotsubo cardiomyopathy" without ST segment elevation, but with severe transient left ventricular dysfunction. CONCLUSION Diagnosis of "takotsubo cardiomyopathy" should be based on typical left ve...
متن کاملAtrial Repolarization Waves (Ta) Mimicking Inferior Wall ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a Patient with Ectopic Atrial Rhythm
We present a case of atrial repolarization waves from an ectopic atrial rhythm mimicking inferior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction in a 78-year-old male patient who presented with left sided chest wall and shoulder pain. His ischemic workup was negative, and the ST elevations completely resolved upon the resumption of sinus rhythm before discharge.

Recently, the incidence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) has been estimated to be 29.8 per million inhabitants [1]. TTC has been recognized since 1990 and is characterized by chest pain, the elevation of cardiac markers, dynamic ECG changes characterized by negative T-waves [2] or mimicking ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in some cases, transient apical and mid-ventricular wall-moti...
متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TCM), also known as transient left ventricular (LV) apical ballooning syndrome, is usually preceded by psychological or physical stress, characterized by transient LV dysfunction, and almost always seen in postmenopausal women. Currently, the precise mechanisms of TCM are unknown. However, the evidence available points to catecholamine-mediated mechanisms with likely m...
متن کاملInferior ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Associated with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is usually characterized by transient left ventricular apical ballooning. Due to the clinical symptoms which include chest pain, electrocardiographic changes, and elevated myocardial markers, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is frequently mimicking ST-elevation myocardial infarction in the absence of a significant coronary artery disease. Otherwise an acute occlusion of t...
